Living with it
Reliability
Got to say not the best. I'm unsure of car's history, but am sure past neglect is to blame.
Image
It's a VW! Still a more sensible car though than a head turner!
Comfort
Nice seating and controls positioning. Firmer than average ride though.
-
Security and Service
Security
Excellent standard manufacturer's security. Not an easy steal.
Service
Parkway, Derby have been excellent. Others not so good and even outright rude!
