Summary
What does this car say about you?
I'm happy to have a slow boring car.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Should have bought a Kia Picanto.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Never - or any other VW. A clutch failure after 11000 miles and a £400 bill to repair it has destroyed the brand for me.

Anything but a VW.
