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.
Maybe best suited as an approved company car
That’s what Mike found when he bought a different car which looks wild but is really mild, and he loves his CR-Z. As a fan of Honda technology I suspect Setright would have approved. ®
