Sep 24, 2008 |  39 Comments

Before pitching the Scirocco GT against its obvious two-door rivals (see First Look next week for a triple test against Audi’s TT 2.0-litre T FSI and BMW’s 125i Coupe M Sport) we thought it would be fascinating to first compare the long awaited coupe with perhaps its closest rival of all, the Golf GTI.
