Carro do ano 2008 para o Top Gear
--------
In their annual awards issue, the BBC’s Top Gear magazine and topgear.com have picked the new Scirocco as their ‘Car of the Year’ 2008.
The coupe saw off strong competition from the Ferrari California, Lamborghini Gallardo LP-560-4 and Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe to win the coveted award.
The judging panel was made up of members of the road test team and journalists from Top Gear magazine, the country’s biggest selling motoring and most widely read men’s magazine, and topgear.com which boasts two million unique users a month.
The panel praised the Scirocco as “a car that is at once fun, stylish and, above all, almost affordable. This is one for us, people. Rejoice.”
The judges were also impressed by the car’s handling: “It feeds back reliably and allows you to play around without fear of recrimination in the form of smashing through a five-bar gate backwards, and on fire. It’s got the handy knack of making each journey into a domestic adventure.”
In summing up the Scirocco’s success, Top Gear magazine explained: ‘Amongst the mega-machinery that makes up a lot of the Top Gear Awards, we’re celebrating something truly unique: a common man’s exotic. The Scirocco is a car we can understand, appreciate and afford.’
Chris Craft, Director of Volkswagen UK, commented: “The Scirocco has received a fantastic reception since its launch earlier this year and to be named Car of the Year by such a tough and well-respected group of judges is a real honour.”
Equipped with a powerful and efficient 2.0-litre TSI engine producing 200 PS, the new Scirocco is the most technically advanced production coupé that Volkswagen has produced. All models benefit from Adaptive Chassis Control (ACC) which operates via a set of four electrically adjustable dampers to alter the car’s suspension, steering and throttle response set-up, and allows the driver to choose the most appropriate setting for the journey.
This system particularly impressed the judges with them explaining, in the Awards issue of Top Gear magazine: ‘The standard ACC system allows you to swap between soft and scythe at the touch of the button, giving you a spread of abilities far beyond what we’ve come to expect from the average car.’

"Um carro difícil de criticar, completo em quase todas as áreas"

So often manufacturers dig up names from the past to lend vital support to an underachieving new product. Not this time. The return of the Scirocco is a triumph, thanks to a car that’s probably even better now than was the original some 34 years ago.
It may seem like damning with faint praise, but the real hallmark of the Scirocco’s achievement is not so much what it does well but how little it does badly.
It is one of them most infuriatingly difficult cars to criticise we’ve encountered in years. It is astonishingly complete in almost all areas and, to cap it all, quite outstanding value for money.
So if you’ve been toying with the idea of a three-door Golf GTI and don’t really need the extra space in the back, get one these instead. You’ll never spend a better £90.

O GTI foi testado novamente?
Scirocco R-Line ?-hummmm...
Sim, acho que sim...
Já agora, alguêm já conduziu um 1.4 TSI de 122cv ? - opiniões e feedback precisam-se, sff !!
é que consigo o carro por 21000€ (+/-) sem extras (apenas Pint.Metalizada), e confesso que a ideia anda-me a perseguir...
Obrigado.
PSL entre a DCC e uns farois destes.... sinceramente na tua posicão não sei o k fazia...
(até sei...nao punha os bancos em pele....mas isso sou eu... [])
Custa-me também um pouco a acreditar que tenham actualizados o xenon que vimos na FIL para colocar os LEDs...
Agora não me espantava nada até porque está a generalizar-se neste segmento também. E muitos dos restylings que há a fazer neste segmento passará por ái mesmo certamente, a inclusão de LEDs.
Estão muito engraçados e merecem bem a pena o esforço económico. O DCC para este motor considero talvez um preciosismo...
Eu gosto bastante desta cor, e acho que ainda não há encomendas com esta cor, parece que a malta tem medo de arriscar.![]()
