So we got a Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0TSI
Our run with Volkswagens continues, this time with the VW Scirocco 2.0TSI. After driving the VW Golf R, we didn’t expect much from this one, but our time with the car has been pleasantly surprising.

So we got a 2011 VW Golf R with DCC
Exactly as the title says. Volkswagen’s Middle East office has like three or four VW Golf R hatchbacks on media duty. When we picked up the white VW Golf R earlier this month, the only one available happened to be the version without Dynamic Chassis Control, a system that adds adjustable suspension. So we simply asked for another round, this time with the DCC version, and they obliged. After driving the non-DCC car, we were already impressed, and had made up our minds that adding complicated suspension gimmickry would only add weight and nothing else. We were wrong.
So we got a 2011 VW Golf R
This is our third VW test-drive in a row. This time we have the 2011 VW Golf R, a stronger version of the Golf GTI and replacement for the previous R32. Since we’ve tested neither of those cars before, thanks to VW’s previous PR agency, we have nothing to compare the Golf R to. All we know is that it is a proper ass-kicker of a car.
So we got a 2012 VW Eos
The facelifted-for-2012 Eos is our second test car from VW after the Tiguan, so we got to try out the rather-entertaining 2.0-litre TSI turbo yet again. Of course, there is more to this car than just the engine.
Volkswagen Beetle 2012 unveiled at Shanghai Auto Show
Volkswagen took the wraps off their latest generation Beetle, affectionately known as the Bug, at the 2011 Shanghai Motor Show a few weeks ago. First introduced during the Mesozoic era, Beetle is one of the very few nameplates which has survived a long timeframe and still manages to be a favourite of many.
So we got a 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
As part of our fresh look at VW’s line-up, we’ve picked up a 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 TSI Sport&Style R-Line 4MOTION DSG. A facelift of this model has already been revealed, but it won’t differ much from this tester, aside from a new face. The ridiculously-long name also hints at several specifications, although all of it is not marked out with badges on the body.
First drive: Volkswagen Jetta 2011 in Dubai
Our long-time readers might know that our VW coverage bordered on farcical since 2006. However, things change over time, and we were pleasantly surprised to receive an invite to the GCC launch of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta in Dubai. The new Jetta is the car VW expects to crack the compact segment with in the GCC.
Volkswagen Golf Cabrio back for 2012
The Volkswagen Golf Cabrio, a fabulous gay icon since 1979, was cancelled back in 2002 to the dismay of pink-wearing men and women around the Western world. After years enduring the VW Eos with the folding hard-top, fangirls can rejoice as the real Golf Cabrio is back for 2012.
Volkswagen Tiguan 2012 facelift revealed
Volkswagen as released new images of the upcoming facelifted 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan. The model hasn’t received any new exterior changes since its debut way back in 2007, and this redesign can be treated as a mid-cycle refresh.
Volkwagen Jetta GLI 2012 debuts at Chicago Auto Show
