The 2.0 TSi rides on sexy 18 inch “Interlagos” alloy wheels, connected to a sporty suspension setup complimented by an optional Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) system that allows the driver to switch between a Comfort and Sport driving mode. Show the Scirocco some high speed corners and the turn-in is firm with no evidence of excessive body roll. It is by no means as sharp as nor as poised as the GTi, but the sports suspension setup inspires sporty driving and quick direction changes without upsetting the balance of the Scirocco.
The Scirocco is equipped with a comprehensive list of active safety equipment. The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Brake Assist system, Anti-lock Brake System, Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) ensures that almost any critical driving situation can be dealt with effectively. If not, passive safety equipment includes the obvious Seatbelt Pre-tensioners, 6 airbags and the not so obvious 5-star EURO-NCAP crash test rating.
