Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought it at 3 months old, 600 miles, £3500 off list price. Bargain!
Costs
Not as economical as I expected (46mpg) but the performance is too tempting. Responds best to BP Ultimate diesel.

On the road
Driving
Mid range performance brilliant for 100 bhp diesel. Very quiet on the motorway, gets noisy when you work the engine.
Performance
Rapid!! Traction control light flashes regularly; excellent motorway overtaker.

Cosseting, but not as good as Mk 5 Golf.

Service
Barringtons of Chesterfield gave me the wrong car on the day I came to pick it up because they mixed it up with an identical car with 3000 more miles. Apparently it was a mistake......the dealership has now changed hands.
