In their own words

Ecomatic is great for economy 700+ miles on a 50L tank; zero tax. Long gearing makes for easy cruising and stable to drive in all conditions. Estate is spacious and seats fold easily from boot or car. Very reliable overall. I considered Passat, Mondeo Octavia when buying but don't regret buying this one. Great all round car and much better built than any Ford. Pity they stopped making the Ecomatic / diesel in the new model Leon estate. Otherwise I'd buy another.

How reliable do you find the car?

Water pump failed at just over 3 years old, under 50k miles was disappointing. Dealer fixed for £140 very good considering the labour costs alone. It's not uncommon among VW cars and was better deals with than many. Everything else great. E.g. brakes lasted over 90k miles.
