With a UK spec import at 17k miles, it's a lot of car for the money.

On the road
Driving
Standard suspension too soft for a performance car. Great grip, but steering too light.
Performance
Eager performance from lovely sounding V6. Pulls hard in every gear.

Reliability
No problems yet. Minor faults fixed under waranty.
Image
Mk4 Golf's pretty common now (though V6 isn't). Quality still second to none.

Good on long journeys. Rear legroom tight.

Security
Standard alarm and immobiliser. Wants a tracker.
