Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy

52+mpg! Better than new Golf diesels!

On the road
Driving
Great for razzing petrolheads, front wheels sometimes difficult to grip
Performance
Only diesel faster is a BMW 330 or the Compact 320, and how much are they? For the £ it can't be touched.

Living with it
Reliability
Noisy aircon occasionally
Image
Do they sell them in colours other than black and silver?! People only see the boot badge when it's moving, who cares what the rest looks like?!
Comfort
Great up front, a bit cosy in back. Boot is huge. Sports seats hug well.

Security and Service
Security
No one gives it a 2nd look, that's why nobody nicks them!
Service
Had a V5 Golf before, service wasn't always good. Tried new dealer and seems fine
