Driving it

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The front suspension has many parts and it has needed new wishbones, links and bushes. The car has done 140000 miles before the turbo flexi hoses needed replacing.
What's most practical about your car?
It has loads of space and good practicality, whilst the 1.8T engine provides the fun factor when needed.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Climatronic aircon is excellent.
