Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Average build quality for a VW, but compared to others in its class, a solid reliable car.
Costs
Not as expensive to run as I thought.

On the road
Driving
Feels like a much bigger car, a pleasure to drive. Gear changes could do with being a bit smoother, reverse can sometimes be hit or miss!
Performance
Good on fuel. Keeps up on the motorway but remember it is only a 65 bhp engine so don't expect instant power when trying to overtake at 80 miles an hour (where law permits!).
-
Living with it
Reliability
Owned it three years no problems at all.
Image
From hairdresser to OAP, a sensible choice.
Comfort
Long motorway journeys.
-
Security and Service
Security
Not great, but if someone really wants to steal your car, they will no matter how much security you have.
Service
Poor; (Windrush Maidenhead) would never by a VW from them again.
