Re: replace my Scirocco ?

cheers for all the replies, guess it's a hard act to follow. Was considering the Toyota/ Subaru but is it just me , looks kind of dated already. Reminds me a bit of an old Celica and the Lexus style rear lights don't help. Gonna look at some Audis , running costs are a bit higher and have heard a fe...

I only did a trip of 3 miles so was not too worried. The owner's manual advises to take the car in for a check. On my return trip the flas...
