Relaxing and easy on most roads. It can happily cruise the fast lane.
Performance
Nippy engine but very soft brakes that fade with heavy use.

Living with it
Reliability
Just about to change for a new C2, due to persistant and dangerous engine fault that VW seem unable to fix.
Image
A bit cheeky, but never pretentious.
Comfort
Very good up front. Kids only in the back.

Security and Service
Security
No probelms. An alarm would have been nice.

The VW dealership in Cheltenham (CD Bramall) were great, but in Bristol (Dovercourt) they have been less than useless.
