Small, economical hatchback and a good all-rounder vehicle.

What was the dealer like?

Fantastic. They called me once a week to let me know the progress of my order and were always available to talk if I had any questions. Always received sound and honest advice. I was originally going to go for the 1.2 60 Match and changed my mind half way through and they were more than happy to help.

Good fuel economy, all the benefits of a Golf in a smaller sized car but still with plenty of space, and very comfortable.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

No particular favourite as they are all great. Love the iPod connectivity feature, and hands-free Bluetooth.
