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

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not just good value, but cheap to run and will last for ages!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Cheaper to service than a VAG as dealers are not as greedy.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Class act, latest technology and good fun to drive hard.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Strong performance, but not as snappy as petrol, although easier to drive due to high torque.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    So far, so good.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I do not rely on a badge. This car looks really nice because it does, not because of a percieved image or designer label. This is the thinking man's designer car!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfy in a firm teutonic way. Soft it is not...

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The badge will put the criminals off. It has a good range of security kit as well.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    As good as VAG, but without the arrogance.
