The Scirocco is a great car at any speed but it really is great at high speeds
compared to most other cars. There is one factor you are not considering here, you're
from germany right? I've lived in the US all my life, and most people here cant drive
worth shit. Not only that they all drive ford explorers or mini vans or some crap like
that. I always hear about how drivers in germany share the road and are used to
driving fast. I'm not one to put down fellow americans but when it comes to driving I
think we could all learn something from the germans, thank you, let the flaming begin!
