The prices for Volkswagen Scirocco R and Volkswagen Golf R have been released and also some informations about them that you can read in this post. There is no doubt that Volkswagen Scirocco R is sexyer than Volkswagen Golf R but other people may have a different ideea.
Both cars are having under the hood a 2.0 liter four cylinder turbocharged TSI engine that develops 260 horsepower and with an electric system that limited both cars to acheive 250 kilometers per hour. Volkswagen Golf R costs €36,400 while Volkswagen Scirocco R is €33,475 worth.
Here is another reason of why you sould chooce the Volkswagen Scirocco R: because it’s cheaper. I became a big fan of VW Scirocco since when I saw the first time such a car. It is a very great sport car that any kid, young boy or even an adult wish’s to have enough money for such a car.
I’d recently purchased and am a new VW owner, M6 Golf GTI. I am experiencing gear box issues with this car.
Have encountered this problem twice this week. What happened was in the midst of driving, the safe mode kicks in, as a result the gear did not engage causing the speed of the car to remained stagnant. I could not even engage the reverse gear even when the car was stationary. Had to stop at the side of the road, turn off the engine and restart the car.
This morning (27/02) brought it over to the Sungai besi Service Centre for a check up and the mechanic said that their troubleshooting showed that its a sporadic problem hence they cannot escalate the issue to replace the gear box. So i was told to go back and if it happens again bring it back for them to test again. Its extremely dangerous if this happened while i was overtaking another vehicle.
Essentially the message I got from VW wearnes is that they will only take it seriously if this problem occurs again and they can test it as a permanent fault in the system or if I get into an accident in this car? Talk about great customer service and absolutely reassuring piece of vehicle.
Anyway, this car is less than 3 months old, just had its first 1000 km service on 10th Feb 2010.
Not recommending anyone to buy this car.. its over price & UNSAFE.
