Scirocco Central

Nice final quote:

Volkswagen has just created the best sports coupe in the sub-£25,000 market, a car that is not just the best all-rounder but the best period in the areas that count the way it goes and the way it looks.

I liked that!

Get the GT spec and you'll receive VW's excellent touch-screen system which includes sat-nav, radio, CD player and Aux port for your MP3 player. And the speakers sound pretty decent too.

They got that one wrong...

Scirocco MK1 vs the New one

This months EVO has their car of the year which includes the Scirocco.

Not read it yet though. It's up against the usual supercars so I can't see it winning

I've collated all of these into a wiki page

Great last paragraph from an Autocar review of the Megane Coupe 2.0 TCe

We can’t really recommend it. It’s not that the Renault Megane Coupe is a bad car. It does most things well, but it excels in no areas and annoys in a couple. Our advice? If you want a three-door coupe, spend a couple of grand more and go for a VW Scirocco.
