On the road
Driving
Have driven many cars, this little car feels like a much bigger car than it is!
Performance
You should see the look on some peoples faces when I leave them standing! Most can't believe it has 100BHP. More than a lot of 1.6's and 1.8's! Only the gear ratio lets it down on the motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts every time, some bits are temperamental...like window motors!

People love it.
Comfort
Can be a hard ride. Have taken mine to Switzerland and back with three occupants, no grumbling!!

Security and Service
Security
Seems fine!
Service
VW are useless! Can't tell you how many times they have got it wrong. Find a decent specialist and save yourself money and frustration!
