Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very responsive, quite quick although don't expect too much of a beast as it's really not. Really not too comfortable due to the bucket seats but I don't spend too long in the car so it's not a major thing.
What's it like to park?
Very easy, a medium size car with no real blind spots.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No faults as yet.
What's most practical about your car?
It's a all rounder. You can have your GTI experience or just pop to the shops. A very easy car to live with.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the tartan cloth interior with GTI on both front seat headrests. The dials look smart and crisp. The red trim on the gear knob etc add to the GTI feel.
