Scirocco Facelift Reviews

Post by skippy »

Don't recall reading these, can't say I agree with the write ups, not keen on Auto Express, terms like 'dated' and 'elderly' in the review. I really don't think that is accurate reporting, but Auto Express often use the word 'dated' when anything is much more than 2 years old!

Tbh i dont read auto express anymore as they just talk aload of shit. Just reading the 1st review you posted these is errors in it.

At the top it says poor reliability. But further down it says you wont suffer from reliability? ?

Then it also says it isnt just a normal two seater. You can fit 3 adults in inside??? I can fit 4 adults in my car so has the facelift scirocco only got 1 front seat as it says it has 2 rear seats.

Yes - I spotted that one Whitedevil, about poor reliability, and then contradicts itself by saying, no reliability issues!

I much prefer Autocar, but AE is rubbish, very poorly written.

Annoys me when (not necessaily this article), they say that such and such a car is let down by poor practicality, MX5 for example! For goodness sake - its a 2 seater! :rolleyes:

Completely agree. And the amount of times they publish pictures of un released new models and it ends up looking nothing like it. They say this is what it will look like and it never does.
