Scirocco better made then a Golf?
« on: 25 September 2010, 12:42 »
I have come to the conclusion that the Scirocco is better made than the Golf.

After examining numerous versions of these cars, the panel fit and paint finish on the Scirocco is much better in comparison.

Nearly every Golf I have examined seems to have a badly aligned bonnet and front bumper plus badly hung doors. (Worse on the 5 door. I had to have all my doors re-aligned). Some also have deformed rear bumpers in the number plate area (like mine used to).

I have not trolled through the Scirocco forums to be enlightened on its problems.

What do you think?

If you read my post carefully, I was talking about the finish not the looks.

I still feel the Scirocco is unattractive especially from the rear.

Just the same I think. My mate bought a Scirroco last year and commented on how the bonnet had very poor alignment and commented on the fact to the dealer who reckoned it was "the first he had seen like that" I've been in his a couple of times and think it's v.similar to the Golf

Then I suppose it has to be Premium German makes like Mercedes, BMW and Audi one has to go for.

Our Mercedes is perfect.

I presume you are an expert having owned a Mk6 GTi or Scirocco and would be perfectly happy to own a new car with bent/damaged panels.

I am sure you feel your Mk 2 is the best of the best.
