Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Always wanted a FR. Fun to drive and some poke when needed. Expected more power though, cornering is rubbish for sports model. Lots of engine problems on a supposed bullet proof engine. Interior is well made but hardly any equipment. Very comfortable. Looks great on the outside since I have face-lift model in black. Eats front tyres. Overall very disappointed with VAG group. Never again. Will be getting Ford Focus ST next time.

How reliable do you find the car?

New Turbo, common fan problem, egr problems, water leak, new head gasket.
