Volkswagen Golf Estate 1.9 SE TDI (90ps) 5d (2000/W) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Company car, but much cheaper now or from car supermarket.
Costs
Exceptional fuel economy-always over 50mpg, regardless of speed. 65mpg if keep to 60mph. Done over 40,000 miles and tyres are still fine.

On the road
Driving
Great for motorway, rides well, good handling. Driving position fine, all controls in good position.
Performance
It might be a diesel but overtaking on motorway is no problem. Much better than some petrol cars I've driven.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems at all-sounds like I've been very lucky!
Image
Not bad for a family estate.
Comfort
Quiet, good aircon. Bit squashed with 5 people in. Good seats. Excellent load space in estate version (unlike hatch).

Broken into rear window by smashing-no alarm fitted as standard.
