Petrolicious Takes a Look at a Classic Volkswagen Scirocco

Petrolicious shifts its focus from vintage, expensive, rare vehicles to something more accessible this week — the Volkswagen Scirocco. The comparatively more affordable and accessible German vehicle is Jason Cammisa’s car of choice, despite the fact that his job as a senior editor at Road & Track often puts him behind the wheels of some of the world’s fastest and most expensive cars. Having driven this car since his college days, the vintage 16-valve Sriocco is beautiful and angular, with a four-cylinder engine that produces just enough power. Its distinctive silhouette is recognizable on the streets, looking like it just drove straight out of the ’80s.
