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.

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!

I owed one of 52 VW Scirocco turbos. It had an IHI RHB5 turbo that made about 6 pounds of boost. It was a kit sold by the dealer that WAS covered by the factory warrantee and it turned the car into a 133 hp bottle rocket. The turbo was tiny and air cooled, and the car could dart to 60 mph in about 7 seconds. This thing could easily beat the shit out of a 16 valve car; It wasn't even close!

Ugh I owned an 87’ Scirocco and it was the smallest, most uncomfortable interior I’ve ever seen. I’ve owned 53 cars and my MR2 and RX7 were so much more comfortable. It’s also the only car that I’d hit my head on the roof(I’m only 6’0)... I still have PTSD from a horrific 12 hour road trip I took with 5 people cramped up in my scirocco. I’m glad you guys like the car though. I love my 74’ Dasher and 71’ Bug! P.S. the scirocco is one of the best looking cars ever made

Funny guys. I've had two Sciroccos. A red one, 1981, that was originally metallic green and had a late 1980's Maaco paint job, done by the previous owner. That car had many scars, it was mistreated probably from day 1. When I got it the motor was not original anymore. And that motor was a disaster, I ended up with a third motor that would probably last forever. I parked it and then lended to a friend, when I got the 1987 that was metallic brown. That car was impeccable when I got it. Had 70k miles or so. But unfortunately the winters of Columbus OH killed it. But I liked so much better the 70's Scirocco. One day.

Loved the Scirocco back in ‘84 when I was looking for my first car. Bought a Datsun 240Z instead but bought a Bug the next year. Love your show - happened across today and subscribed.....have been go thru all your past videos. Now I need a Bug or bus. QUESTION: why do some Bugs and Buses have only one yellow fog light in front?

Very nice! welcome to the channel! not sure why it would only be one light? maybe it's just a personal preference? and it's easier to source only one

You left out the Dasher in the timeline. My first VW was a 1973 Dasher that I bought for $75. I have horror stories about replacing the fuse block that VW had stupidly put under the hood where they always leaked and got wet. It was a great car otherwise though I always wished it had a 5 speed instead of a 4.

Great video, came across it searching for info about Sciroccos. I had a '76 that my father gave me when I got my license. Interesting that my Dad named it Rocky. I crashed that one and got a '78 to replace it, named that one Rocky 2. While fixing that one up and getting it painted, I had the seats out and used milk crates to sit on for a while. I then bought a 1980 Scirocco S, and a1977 parts car, welded the doors and cut the roof off of the 1978 because I wanted a convertible. I was wondering how you came up with the name Rocky. I never got to find out where my dad came up with the name. He named it, so I was hoping to hear how you came about the name.
