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

Holds its value well, which is a good thing as it's so expensive.

Cheap to insure and petrol doesn't burn a hole in your pocket.

On the road
Driving
With ESP as standard grip is brilliant and the gears are effortless everything feels extremely solid.
Performance
Only a 1.4 but still pulls well, but can feel a little overworked at best.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never had a problem although interior build quality isn't up to usual V.W. standard.
Image
Cannot fail to look good in one, classy and understated.
Comfort
Would struggle to find a more comfortable car seat and steering wheel adjust in every possible way, your lying if you cant get a good driving position and the size of it is cavernous in the back.

Security and Service
Security
No alarm as standard which is miserly i feel.
Service
Two dealerships wouldnt even look at me, i put this down to the fact i'm only 20 and obviously do not look like i can afford a car such as this, but trust VOLKSWAGN WOLVERHAMPTON were helpful and completely trustworthy, funny that given there name.
