Scirocco features in auto express pcoty http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/videos/fea ... _2008.html had a quick look in the newsagesnts and comes 15th given its not track focused, can't win em all, would be interesting how it rates on the ring rather than your typical tracks, gets an excellant road rating though

The Scirocco was also featured on the Top Gear Live @ MPH Show this year as part of the interactive cool wall feature. A candy white (with sunroof) was brought out as the last car in the feature, the presenters loved it and it was unaimously vouted to coolest car out of the lot, making it into the Sub-zero section of the cool wall!!!

Other cars were a Morgan Aero T, an Audi, a Passat CC (got ripped!) and something else I can't remember..

Still, one very happy Scirocco owner to be sitting in the audience very smug!!!!

I was also in the audience (1:30pm show) and loved it, the driving skills of the stunt drivers was amazing!! And I was very happy to see the Scirocco make an appearance, I thought it strange that VW weren't displaying it in the main exhibition.

I had a great day out, would recommend it to anyone for future years.
