Yandards 0 Posted November 10, 2005 Compared to similiar cars made by Western manufacturers the 'rocco is streets ahead. The 1.8 8v block is near bulletproof, the bodywork was all galvanised (C reg Escort anyone - whoops its rusted away by now) Have a bit of a read of this for a few tips : http://www.sciroccoregister.co.uk/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H8RRA 0 Posted November 10, 2005 i'm with yans on this one - get a gtx 18i, canny performance - i had 2 and i loved them - longer legged than golfs as well (gbox ratios) and better cruisingmpg depending how you use it and definately dirt cheap these days just squint & it could be the 'C' :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted November 10, 2005 ..the bodywork was all galvanised ... are you sure?, even the Corrado only has a few galvanised-ish bits, thought the audi 80/100 were the first galvanised mainstream cars, not including things like porkers.
