The VW Scirocco has been named Car of the Year at the prestigious Top Gear.com Awards, announced yesterday, Thursday 27 November.

We don't usually cover modern Volkswagens but when one wins car of the year 2008 you can't help but feel a little proud to be part of the VW world no matter how old your car is!

The 2008 model of the 34 year old car was awarded the highly sought after accolade for managing to be “fun, stylish and above all, almost affordable.” The judges said: “This is one for us, people. Rejoice.”

“Sometimes you forget just how exciting Volkswagen can be” commented the judges on the VW Scirocco, back after a 16 year absence. According to the judges: “Despite feeling like VW in every sense, the Scirocco manages to distill out the best bits of the GTI and make something...else. Something special.” The car took the ultimate accolade because: “We’re celebrating something truly unique in the Scirocco: a common man’s exotic. This is a car we can understand, we can appreciate, we can afford.”
