The Scirocco is essentially a less practical, but better looking Golf with fewer engine choices.
You should be able to make the call between the two yourself based on your circumstances.

My dad had a sirocco for a few years. Look much better than a golf but otherwise, they’ve got harsh / crashy suspension, they’re dark and cramped and the boot is shit.
Would go golf if those are your only options.

We have a mk 5 golf, 57 plate..
The only issue we've had is the brake module - I think it was subject to a recall originally but it's gone twice since we had it. Each time >£500 (and possibly quite a bit more, I can't remember) to replace, and annoyingly might become an economical question next time vs. the value of the car... I think it was an issue unique to that version of the car.
Don't know if that's helpful, everything else about it has been trouble free for more than ten years of ownership. For what it's worth I'd get another one over almost anything else.

After a new car - Golf or Scirocco. What should I be looking for when buying used, and how many miles can you get out of an average one before they are bound to be scrapped? I know absolutely nothing about cars.
