The VOLKSWAGEN SCIROCCO (2008-14) 3DR COUPE 2.0 TSI 265 EU5 R LEATHER SNAV DSG AUTO6 is a sporty three-door coupé with hatchback practicality. In the UK, this R is a performance-focused alternative to ordinary family hatchbacks, combining a powerful petrol engine, automatic gearbox and low, distinctive styling. mycarcheck.com has logged 244 checks covering 75 different cars, a useful sample of interest in this sought-after version. Those records show an average private-sale value of £10,600 and average mileage of 77,000 miles; typical annual use is 7,000 miles. Cars checked had just under four previous keepers on average. That makes it best suited to drivers wanting a weekend car or quick, stylish daily runabout, rather than rear-seat space or low running costs. Leather and satellite navigation add comfort and convenience, while the Scirocco R’s sharper performance gives it an edge over coupé-styled rivals such as the Vauxhall Astra GTC and hot hatchbacks.
