I thought I was done buying cars for a while—and then this Volkswagen Scirocco 16V goes up for sale! So you probably guessed it, I now own it. I had a nearly identical VW Scirocco 16V back when I was much younger. To this day it goes down as the worst, most unreliable piece of crap car that I’ve ever owned.

Or was I just the victim of bad VW luck? Today, let’s talk about it!

Fun story!
I worked for VW corporate back in the 80s and was driving a pre-production 16V Scirocco back to LA from Phoenix after a media event.
I was pulled over by a CHP for doing 63 in a 55 zone (the highway speed limit back then), and the cop walked all around my “Arrest Me Red” car and said, “So, this thing goes pretty fast?”
With more than a touch of sarcasm I replied, “Well, according to you, it can go 63.”
Good thing he wasn’t around when I was doing 110 mph on I-10 in Arizona…
