On the road
Driving
No feedback from steering. Lots of bodyroll and understeer, even at modest speeds considering it's a fairly firm ride, though won't spring up any surprises.
Performance
Not brilliant in town becouse of a poor performing first gear. Much better performance on motorways - can go above 100mph.

Living with it
Reliability
Not as reliable as you would think a VW should be.
Image
Very good. Has quality and classy looks that are understated and don't draw too much attention to itself. Should not date as much as a Ford.
Comfort
Very comfortable, but a fairly firm ride.

Most of the attitude of staff at dealers is arrogant and bad.
