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

In their own words

Bought as a VW Approved car at 5 months old with 1500 miles on the clock and the remainder of the 3 years VW warranty.

I nearly bought a Mk8, but I'm so glad I didn't, as I've avoided all the software problems and that awful digital dash.

This is one of the last Mk7.5's off the production line, so if they haven't got everything right by now, they never will!

The Match Edition has all the bells and whistles, if anything it's too complex, as I reckon I only use about 10% of its facilities.

I'm 78, so this is probably my last car and will be a bargain for someone in about 2032, at which time it will still have done less than 10,000 miles!

How reliable do you find the car?

Not surprising, as I only do 800 miles per annum and so the car has spent over 99% of its life in the garage!

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

The one thing I don't like are the brakes...much too sensitive!
I've been driving for 60 years, from Morris Minor to BMW 5 Series, but I still can't get used to them.
