Economy
Value
Bought ex-demo so good as new, just not as expensive.
Costs
Not reached first sevice yet (19,000 miles). Front tyres last 15,00 miles. You can shop around and get them (P6000 Rossi's) for about £110 a corner.

On the road
Driving
Nice driving position, as long as you're going forwards. Backwards, a different kettle of fish. Mind you the sound of the V6 is fab! To the extent that one of of my friends insists on having the windows down and stereo off so she can hear it!
Performance
Ha! Don't let Scoody Doo drivers fool you with their supposed 0-60. Once you're rolling you'll keep up with one no probs!

Living with it
Reliability
No probs so far.
Image
Nice, wolf in sheeps clothing. Looks like a 2.0 TDi Sport when debadged. Until you come to pull away.
Comfort
Nice, especially with the Bose sound. Fast, clear road and "The Killers - Sombody Told Me", and you're away!

Security and Service
Security
Still on the drive I hope. Tracker fitted. Don't want to lose it…
Service
Limited exposure but seem OK. Better than my local VW dealer.
