I took the Scirocco for a test spin for 4 hours! Amazing. Handles like a dream. That exhaust note sounds amazing. Waste gate release get me all fired up. Never slipped. Even going around a wet roundabout at 80 kph 4x didn't loose traction or speed once. Pleasure to drive, and response is phenomenal. Don't just talk about it go take one for a test drive! You won't be sorry. And what is it gonna hurt if you take it out and don't like it compared to a Mk5 gti? I have not driven a Car that is that good in a long time....
Enjoy

Choosing between new GTI and Scirocco is justified. Maybe acceleration is the same,but the new GTI has XDS, it will help you get around corners a little bit better.

Bobby it's not the same engine from the Golf V GTI. It's the EA888, new generation, but same block. It's the same engine from The Golf VI GTI. Same power. Dyno test. Do not be fooled by technical papers. One 200 and the other 210. Not true.

The scirocco is way better than the GTI MarkV. The main reason would be that tough both are essentially 2.0 engines, with the same power 201bhp, The scirocco has the supercharged version which eliminates any lag and is simply beautiful to drive.. I am so happy i sold my R32 and bought this one.

7.2-60? i dont thin so, the best so far that has ben tested to 60mph is 6.3, so 0-60 damn sure aint 7.2, and somebody might wonna check dat 0-100kmh time.

The "RACING RIVALS" of each car are chosen on which parameters?
Power-weight ratio. So you can expect sometimes these selections to be quite retarded. :D

You're welcome!

I have a question @FastestLaps:

Thanks for your answer.

That's true.
Scirocco with 200 hp engine has been tested 6,2-6,3 Seconds 0-100 km/h several times.
The car is incredible value for money.

Volkswagen is always a little modest on their performance values. 0-100km/h times and engine power ratings are always a little less than in real life.
