  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Driving is an absolute hoot. There are a few disappointed GTI owners nearby. It looks like cheap tin can but it is raring to go all the time. The interior is dull but the performance makes up. Refined? No but great value.

    Who cares.
