The third generation Scirocco is a piece of art. I remember when I first saw it in public - at one of the many small parking lots at our private boarding school, with Ferdinand Piëch's wife behind the wheel picking up their son to get home for the weekend. So far, so normal. The crazy thing about this situation: back then the Scirocco wasn't even available, it was still shown at different shows, and I was allowed to sit inside it and have a look at the beautiful beige interior and comfy leather seats. And the wheels were those show-off chrome monsters. I will always remember this day. And also: Rest In Peace Ferdinand Piëch.

ABF 16v will always be one of my favorite motors. Too bad we never had them here in the states, just the 1.8l PL and 9A 2.0l. A PL head on a 9A block is a worthwhile mod, especially with the 50mm intake manifold and 'euro' intake cam. Ahhhhhh back in the days of Techtonics, and Autotech were some of the only tuners. Another cool trick is to get a spare exhaust cam and chop the end off it and run it in place of the intake cam. BOOM, an OEM part that can be used to stay within class rules that only allow factory parts. Its funny how many people are intimidated by CIS but I love it, having turning wrenches on so many CIS cars back in the day. Couple other good upgrades for the 16v CIS cars are the Audi 5000 throttle body, airflow plate and fuel dizzy. They all bolt up and work. 👍🤙😎

4:44 that was totally my car. Bosch fog lights, metallic green. Extremely fun car (when all the other cars out there were boring and a Mustang GT would make 135hp and be a PITA to drive), though reliability was non-existent. The rubber timing belt broke within a year. It didn't break, but the rubber teeth got chewed off in one spot. The speedo broke, valve seals didn't seal, muffler pipe broke open, pin holding a rear shock popped off, rear window and driver window allowed rain to pour in, air pump filter rusted and fell off, and carb was in one of two states constantly: lean or rich. LOL, I had parts of that car held together with ribbon that I found in the street. But the body, I kept that perfect, so it looked great. When I traded it in the salesman said "and I know that the drivetrain is in as good a shape as the body" and I gave a deadpan "no". He thought I was joking. The dual wipers came back with 85, not 84. The bigger spoiler appeared in 85, the 16v shared the same spoiler. The mid 70s car market was obsessed by fuel efficiency and Detroit tried to turn the public against Washington by only offering boring low powered cars. That's how a 70 hp Scirocco could be perceived as a performance car. By the mid 80s things had changed, the Mustangs and Camaros were over the 200hp level, RX7s, and Supras abounded, and an upsized, upengined Scirocco would have taken a huge investment to compete in a saturated market. And gas was so cheap that small cars fell out of favor with the public.

In HS I had a rabbit diesel. I'm now almost 50 and 3 years ago bought a mk1 scirocco (not an S model, but white with s model trim, verified it came stock from pictures of actual delivery in 1979). I'm 6'3 250 and I can vouch that they are SMALL inside! But at least I have a cherry rocco that I wanted back in HS! And it sits next to my mk6 golf R. :)

If done correctly it can be. Like a 6 speed manual hybrid hot hatch. Hell actually a manual ev isn’t even a bad idea. I have driven a Electric bug with a Gene Berg 5speed transaxle an that was fun

@@zhixci958 Imagine vw doing the what the Crz should have been, im thinking the up's GTI 3 cylinder (a 4 banger would be optimal, but im trying to compromise) with a turbo and the electric engine, should be good for at least 180 hp (though i think a sirocco should have at least 200 but that number should be posible with what im sugesting)

OK Donut, this is serious. I know you guys love VW as much as I do, and I especially love the Golf, I always loved the car, and then I bought an 05 TDI Golf and a 92 Gold Diesel and have loved the car forever. But there is one VW I haven't owned and it is my dream car, so can we PLEASE get an episode on the 90's VW Corrado. This car is so sexy and will 100% eventually be a collectors car. Please review the VW Corrado, which i think I've spelled correctly, maybe not lol.
