My brother actually gave me my first Scirocco (pictured below). I fell in love with it the first time I drove it. It wasn't very quick, but it held the corners quite nicely. The quick ratio tight steering made it a pleasure to drive. Some years later I purchased my current Scirocco (second picture). Major differences include a 5 speed ultra close ratio transmission, a different body style, leather interior, and a tad bit more power.
