VW Golf Estate 1999-

In their own words

Complete service history. Bodywork is perfect - not a touch of rust even under the wheel arches. 98k on the engine but still runs well and as lively as can be expected whilst returning 43mpg. Interior still looks good, all gadgets, buttons, lights, windows, remote locking, etc, still function, even if the "black and more black" interior is bland - enlivened only by the shiny silver "Star Trek Warp Drive" Tiptronic selector. Solid dependable car for someone concerned about practicality and reliability and not looks. Turn the key and off you go !

How reliable do you find the car?

Car has a full service history and has had no major problems. Only replacement items like rubber gaiters due to it's age.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Smooth ride, comfortable, light steering, just enough power. A pleasure on any journey. Just remember it's not a sports car and the back end is somewhere behind you.
