Driving
Excellent drive. The blue dashboard at night is great on long drives at night. Very comfortable position, no complaints.
Performance
Good at motorway crusing, but sometimes I need more boost; when nipping pass something on a country road. On the whole, very good.

Security
Average. Colleague had a VW broken into faster than actually using the key (seen on CCTV). with no real damage done. It needs some attention here.
Service
No after sales problems with any of the dealers I've visited around the country, they all seem more than happy to help.
