I always liked the Scirocco. I know someone who had a 1980 Scirocco, and another person who had a 1984 Scirocco (which I drove a couple times). I always thought it would be fun to have (or at least drive) one of these 16V Sciroccos. I had a 1993 Corrado VR6 for a short time, but I always have liked the Scirocco too.

Good video thanks for bringing up the Scirocco again! I've owned many of these. If you don't mind, here's a few additions and corrections. I do believe that 1974 was the first year of the Scirocco in the US. The reason Karmann was selected was that they were VW's manufacturer of choice for their lower volume specialty vehicles, so that VW didn't have to retool one of their high volume lines. Ie. Beetle Convertible, Ghia, Rabbit Convertible, Scirocco, Corrado. The last year of production for the Mk2 Scirocco was 1992 in Europe. In the USA, the last year for any titled Scirocco was 1989, but those were assembled 1988 models. Enjoy the car!

Always like the Scirocco but never had the chance to own one. I heard that Giugiaro (the first "G" is a soft G by the way) designed a Mk II but VW declined it and did the design for it in-house. Giugiaro's design eventually became the Isuzu Impulse.

The 1988 was the best Scirocco, IMHO. I worked at a VW dealer in 1987-88. The ‘88 felt more refined than the ‘87. A lot of the ‘87s had notchy shifters, but when the ‘88s came out, I noticed that the shifting felt just right. To this day, I don’t know what change VW made, but it was good. If I had my choice when running an errand for the dealership, I’d always choose the 1988 Scirocco and enjoy the heck out of it!

An old friend of mine had a 4 speed 70's model back in high school. Sh*# brown color and interior falling apart but she and her dad make that car haul ass!

damn i’m glad you guys did this one I guess i’m one of those weird guys lol i too always liked the square i sh ones of course the 16 valve was legendary and in high school for me any Scirrocco was my dream car although i was more capable of buying a Rabbit more specifically a 81 2 door with a blown head gasket i put the head gasket on drove over 1000 local miles then decided to go on a 1300 mile trip in her and i spun the main bearings ? luckily i had a rope and a 12 pack in the trunk area and i got pulled to campground then home to fix the motor again i took the back seat out of that Rabbit and bought foam for it as a sleeping area ? unfortunately on that one the Bosch fuel injection i could not get working correctly and eventually all the steel brake lines just rusted out so i got rid of that one all together btw i did have a 75 Rabbit with the carburetor set up on it that was a good car except the interior was uncomfortable
