rusty fuel filler necks... water gets into the injection system and screws it up, suspension top mounts wear out with regularity but cheap to replace.
Make sure the clutch is good as its a pain of a job to replace. GTX's have hydraulic tappets.
Fast & economical (33mpg+) even when driven hard, if you pick a good one up for pocket money your laughing
Other than that hard as nails, had many a happy mile knocking seven bells out my 1.8i Storm some years ago(if you come across a nice one of those rip his arm off) Full leather, factory body kit etc
Often slagged off but I rate them,

got to be Injection nogrille said:
mustard I have to disagree. I run a MK2 Golf GTi as my daily driver and I was VERY surprised by the handling and power delivery of the Scirocco. Now either my GTi is knackered (I don't think so!) or the Scirocco is a very nice little car......
1.6 GT - 75bhp
1.8 GT - 90bhp
1.8 Injection - 112bhp
Plus uprated rollbars etc, not saying a GT is a bad car (I like 'em
) but if you can find a good one, you can pick an Injection up for buttons, great fun and as tough as old boots (carb ones are fitted with the dreaded pierburg carb. which can give lots of grief) nogrille said:

The Scirocco, being based on a Mk 1 chassis is a fair bit lighter than your mk 2, hence the power diference between the carbed and injection motor will be offset.
