Volkswagen - you know what you have . That may sound a bit dusty , but the 265 -hp Scirocco R convinced Buffs down the line - with temperament , refinement and sporty esprit . Costly antics ? Non-existent. We were traveling 70,000 km with the Wolfsburg named after a desert wind. Often the logbooks of the endurance test cars are brimming scrawled with the comments of the editors . Praise , blame, everyday experiences , large and small annoyances are as meticulously noted . Sometimes, there are also read cynical , and occasionally there are even slanderous remarks. ( But this happens very rarely , I promise . )
But the VW Scirocco R , this was quite different.
Gaping void in the VW Scirocco R- continuous test protocol
After 70,000 kilometers with more than 250 driver changes prevailed in the margins of the protocol often gaping void . Is this a good or a bad sign ? Good , because this lack of word messages on a reliable car repair shop life without excesses suggesting ? Or the ladies and gentlemen drivers with their comments, so therefore held back because they keep this VW Scirocco R is a four-wheeled drag? After all, an original observation was then yet .
"I 'm in love again ," Further notes scribbled a colleague ( name withheld ) in the logbook this, however, this gentleman was guilty , and so it is unclear whether he with this emotional outburst really the VW Scirocco R meant or whether he memorized an episode from his eventful private life.
Back to the facts: The design of the VW Scirocco R pushed for internal editorial not unanimous enthusiasm. Some praised the bold sweep of the lines with a strong emphasis on the bounce , almost rubens liable buttock and found his performance " dynamic, even at a standstill ." Other evaluated the design as an expression of Lower Saxony objectivity , and even the ugly adjective " kaulquappenhaft " fell in connection with the VW Scirocco R. Well, tastes differ .
VW Scirocco R with " rubenshaftem rump "
Of course, the editorial functions sports car rather than design or police as the supreme authority when it comes to matters of taste . Man holding up better to clear facts , measurement protocols and essential in an endurance test , also at the workshop invoices .
One had previously betrayed the same. The white VW Scirocco R was not maladjusted here .
As the following chart shows , he was limited to routine stops at the mechanics . A couple of times swap the tires , three times regular maintenance service , replace brake discs along with pads once - that's it.
Not even a blown light bulbs clouded this outstanding balance after 71 045 kilometers driven . As good as it gets.
Here rattles nothing, because nothing rattles - even in the Scirocco
As for the quality impression , found not even the petty most test drivers - in Swabia defamed as " pen sharpener ." - Reason to complain " here is rattling nothing, and here rattles nothing," VW boss Martin Winterkorn had said two years ago , after being on the Frankfurt IAA had taken place in a new Hyundai. This used Volkswagen Scirocco R Winterskorn regarded as extremely thorough would surely come to the same verdict.
The interior made even after two years of intensive use an almost new impression , and even the optional leather armchair "Vienna" ( extra charge 2,195 euros ) presented themselves as perfectly preserved .
Almost all drivers felt in good hands at VW Scirocco R . Only very tall man wanted instead of seat height adjustment , a " seat depth adjustment ," which would give them a few more inches of clearance to the roof.
265 hp engine in the VW Scirocco R has a " bomb motor . "The 265 PS strong TSI engine in the VW Scirocco R was showered with compliments almost - not self-evident at the critical sport auto colleagues. " Wonderful," is this four-cylinder turbo , or wrote one , " a bomb engine! ": " Superb, as it depends on the gas . " As " super elastic" the four-cylinder was praised , and as " supergeschmeidig " .
