A coupe car is the car for people who want a sporty car but don't want to go down the route of a full fledge sports car or two-seater racer but instead wants a car which is built around a normal family car. Below is one examples of a Coupe which is both practical and nippy.

The Volkswagen Scirocco is based on the Golf but is both sleeker and sportier and offers drivers grippy handling and precise steering and great fun for the appreciative driver. Its competitors are the Audi TT and the BMW 6 series and compared to these two cars, the Volkswagen Scirocco is a steal with a starting price of around 20,000 depending on what deal you're able to make with your dealership. And as it is a Volkswagen, a make known for making solid and long lasting cars, this car will also hold its value well making it a safe investment. The Scirocco 1.4 TSI can deliver 42.8 mpg on mixed driving but if you use the car to its full potential, this figure will take a hammering. The Bluemotion version however will give you an excellent 60 mpg which means you can have your cake and eat it in term of being financially savvy.

Although the Scirocco is good fun and reasonably priced it does have some drawbacks and that is the interior space. Not for the driver though, there's plenty of space up front. It's potential passengers who will suffer with low headroom. And there's not that much space for your luggage either so the car might be more of a couple's or single's car than a family car.

The VW Scirocco Coupe is also well thought of by industry professionals such as review centres and car guides and often features in the top five list of great coupe buys alongside the ever popular Audi TT and cars like the Mini Coupe. But compared to these two cars the back seat on the Scirocco is enormous, something worth thinking about if you'd like to treat your friends to a spin.

If you fancy trying the VW Scirocco, Kent is one area where you'll find dealers willing to accommodate.
