In their own words

Fantastic car, maybe a bit dated inside, but the digital cockpit helps. I disagree with the Parkers reviewer regarding the 1.5 petrol engine, its still feels weak and breathless despite 3 ECU updates. The DSG is a better option as the manual struggles in 1st gear, its gets better from 2nd, but I can't believe it could do 0-60 in the claimed 8.5 seconds. Ride is firm but not harsh even with the 19 inch wheels. Fuel economy is poor, driving economically I get early 30s on the motorway and mid 40s on A roads giving an overall average of late 30s. I really like the car, but wish I had chose the 2.0 diesel.
