I know  what you mean. My wife had a 88 GTI 16v and it was stolen. I wanted
her to get a Scirocco.
She got a new $$$$$$$ 97  Acura  Integra GSRL. The thing is nice but we
drive my Scirocco when we go out and blast around town. The two cars are
simmular if you don't know a VW from a hole in ground. I could get 5
Sciroccos for the price of that Integra. What was she thinking. It is new
and girls like that because they don't love to fix cars, well most girls.
That is my take on the topic.

87 16v silver Scirocco.
