Living with it
Reliability
Fair.
Image
Smart looking. Rear end of MK6 is the same as the MK5 with new front styling. Not everyone's cup of tea!
Comfort
Again, dashboard and rear components suffer from constant excessive "road" noise, even on smooth flat roads. This totally spoils ride. Don’t expect this from an LX model.

Security and Service
Security
Moderate security with alarm and double-door-locking.
Service
Overpriced servicing at local dealers. Inability to repair faults under guarantee!
