Accessing the boot has also been made easier.The Volkswagen badge now swings upwards around the central axis when pressure is placed on it,doubling up as a handle for opening the boot lid.An added point for hot hatch practicality!Interior enhancements have not been forgotten either.Volkswagen has upped the sportiness for this Scirocco with sport seats,a revamped instrument cluster,a steering wheel design adapted once again from the Golf GTI as well as auxiliary h7 led headlight kit instruments,or'gauges'as they are better known as.These centrally mounted gauges are there to inform r of the turbocharger's boost pressure,chronometer and engine oil temperature.While some may frown upon this as a'boy racer'thing,this holy trinity of auxiliary instruments is actually a feature which pays tribute to the original Scirocco.ated to a seven-speed DSG gearbox,power in this new Scirocco has been reduced,sadly to fit the Category A COE criteria of a maximum output of 130bhp.What you get out of this new 1.4 TSI engine is 120bhp and 200Nm of torque,about 38bhp down from the previous model.

On the flipside,we got an average fuel consumption of 14.5km/L and the car still does the century sprint slightly under 10 seconds.For a hot hatch to be even considered as one,it has to handle well and slap a grin across your face each time you take it through a bend.Making up for its slight loss of power,the configuration of the running gear in the Scirocco earns it the name'sports chassis'in all aspects.The McPherson axle up front allows for a balance of precision driving as well as comfort while at the rear,a four-link axle is called upon to do the job.The unit we drove,had the optional Dynamic Chassis Control(DCC)feature and what this does is allow you to select between three damping modes-Normal,Sport and Comfort.Prior to Dodge SX2.0 fog light this update,the styling of the Scirocco was already evergreen and despite being back in the market for six years,it could still hold its own against much newer models.But as American inventor and manufacturer,John Deere said,"If we don't improve our product,somebody else will."Volkswagen has definitely found the right answer with the Scirocco's makeover.
