VW's Scirocco diesel: A sheep in Wolfsburg’s clothing

The GT 2.0 TDI 150PS DSG

Cheap tax, big tank

With a 55 litre tank that’s a range of around 800 miles. It’s also band C for road tax which is just £30 a year, and, as with all diesels, you can expect less depreciation compared to the petrol-engined siblings.

Where this car will find its home is in the lists of approved company cars that are all pretty dreary, the external looks providing a glimmer of excitement against lots of 1.8 and 2.0 diesels. But if you are spending your own £23,455 plus options there are more exciting cars, some of them Volkswagens and some of them even Sciroccos.
