    This is my pride and joy - a VW Scirocco TSI. I absolutely love this car and waited a long time to buy one.

    It looks like the steering wheel is on the wrong side though.

    It's on the "Right" side :p

    It's a manual as well (stick shift). No good in the US 😉

    Also, I miss the Scirocco in the US. 1987 may have been it.

    I hope you were able to purchase that with a deep discount; they placed the steering wheel on the wrong side of the dashboard.

    Oh boy I should've anticipated the steering wheel jokes.

    Joke?

    They've stopped making them again. They were available from 09 to 2017. Mine was one of the last so will hold its value - that is until they decide to bring them back in to production.

    VW's names are too hard to pronounce.

    Really? The most popular models in the UK have fairly simple names, eg Golf, Polo, Up. I suppose the Touraeg is a bit of an odd one, and the Arteon.

    I drove a Mini Cooper manual six speed for a while.

    It’s was like driving a Go Kart .

    I needed speech therapy before purchasing an Alpha Romero.

    I cringed some. You'd think I'd be numb from all of the Porsh or Porsh-uhs .

    Funny you say that. I had an automatic Jaguar XF as a courtesy car - the first auto I'd driven - and that felt like a go kart to me. Give me manual any day for a fun driving experience. When the turbo kicks in on the scirocco before I change up a gear.... Mmm gimme dat.

    I picked the Isuzu MU-X for its 3 ton towing capacity. I drag a 2.5 ton van often with it. You dont even know there's anything behind you, flys up hills easily. I'm really impressed with this car, I can't fault it.
