In their own words

From purchase we have had no major problems with the car only VW knowledge of how to update the software when available. The car is excellent around town on an average long run when used correctly we have averaged 60 to 70 mpg with mixed roads on a 200 mile trip fully charged at start of trip boot space could be bigger but to us is plenty for a weekend away with 4 adults and kit. The car is a pleasure to drive quite quick well planted a car you can relax in or have some spirited fun. We have had excellent reliability from the GTE easy to use and incredibly efficient . We charge mostly with solar panels at home for majority of the year as we can reduce current draw to 925 wstts easily achieved even with winter sun average yearly petrol fill up is around 5 times a year current fuel in the tank was put in in October 2020 with a quarter of a tank still left. Charge correctly not fast carge an the battery is still as good as new 29 to 31 on a good day all depends on the ambient temperature. Learn about this car an it will reward you in every driving pleasure way. Relaxing sporty and enjoyable. The key is to understand what you have an use it correctly. I have kept every fuel receipt so my fuel figure is correct to date. Electric cost is very small certainly not noticeable on bills.
