Difficult to buy anything these days without some kind of phony justification, isn't it? That large leather couch you bought? Well it was half cost, so you had to. and that flatscreen television? You'd lost the remote for your elderly one...
So how do you justify purchasing a fast petrol coupe in a high-ish tax band, at a time when the economy is flat on its arse and you are able to barely afford loo roll?
Easy, put a diesel in it. Which is what VW has completed with the Scirocco, therefore making it more available to more people. OK, so shoving a diesel in a desirable automobile is nothing new, but we're pleased one made it in to a Scirocco- our automobile of the Year 2008.
