Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Do not get a GTE as the auto hand brake release has been designed by a 5 year old and makes a noise you would expect in a 20 year old mini cab. Shocking quality - expensive car - and VW admit it is poor quality….but as the brake works won’t do anything about it. Avoid - and get a bmw hybrid instead.

How reliable do you find the car?

Shocking car - avoid. The auto hand brake release makes an awful ‘clunk’…..sounds like a cheap mini cab. Dealer accepted noise unacceptable - but VW said ‘tuff - brake works, so hard luck’
