Difficult to buy anything these days without some sort of phony
justification, isn't it? That big leather sofa you just bought? Well it
was half price, so you had to. Best UK Used Cars that flatscreen telly? You'd lost the
remote for your old one.So how do you justify buying a
quick petrol coupe in a high-ish tax band, at a time when the economy is
flat on its arse and you can barely afford loo roll?
Easy,
just put a diesel in it. Which is what VW has done with the Scirocco,
therefore making it more accessible to more people. OK, so shoving a
diesel in a desirable car is nothing new, but Best UK Used Cars pleased one made it
into a Scirocco - our Car of the Year 2008.You get all the gorgeousness of the petrol version, with just a little
less guilt and a few more notes in your wallet. Some might say that the
'Roc should stay pure to petrol, and that giving it a diesel somehow
dilutes its brand.
It doesn't. It's obviously not as quick as
the 2.0-litre TSI, which don't forget is just a Golf GTi in disguise,
but it's just as sharp and certainly not slow. Throttle response is
about as instant as it gets in a diesel, and it pulls quickly and
cleanly through the gears -Best UK Used Cars- feeling more powerful than its quoted 138bhp
and 236lb ft.Yes, the driver in you will probably always
want the petrol. But just remember, this one's 500 quid cheaper, two tax
bands lower and cheaper to run. What more justification do you need?
