Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TDI 140PS
What is it?
THE most business-friendly coupe you can buy. Latest engine to join the Scirocco line-up is a super smooth 2.0-litre common-rail diesel unit. It’s available in flagship £22,545 170PS GT trim or, as tested here, in £21,365 140PS entry-level spec.
What’s hot?
- Desirable blend of performance and low running costs…
- …with 0-60mph in 9.0secs, 55mpg and 134g/km of CO2
- Punchy on-boost acceleration makes overtaking easy
- Surprisingly throaty engine note under power but refined at speed
- Precise steering and tight body control mean agile handling
- Great looks
- Lots of space up front, solid build quality
- Long doors aid access to rear
- Strong residuals
What’s not?
- Diesel can be noisy on start-up…
- …and if you catch the engine off-boost, it can feel tardy
- Interior should be as exciting as the exterior, strictly a four-seater
- The ride is a little hard even with the active dampers in Comfort mode
