Summary
What does this car say about you?
Never actually heard it speak yet so I dunno. Would probably be a bit scary if it did say something.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it and the performance blows them away (190HP ECU reprogram). They all want VW diesels now!
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, would prefer a Leon FR 150TDI (Looks better with the Cupra/FR bodykit) but costs £3-4K more for same age.
What are you likely to buy next?
Tough one..... Audi A4 1.9 TDI Quattro Mondeo 2.2 ST TDCI or perhaps a Leon 170TDI.
