Economy
Value
Not bad Bruce, you get a lot of car for the money, fortunatly I'm a company car driver, so it's not my money that I'm getting a lot for.
Costs
Awesome fuel economy, 50mpg + most of the time, sometimes on a good motorway run it's closer to 70mpg.

On the road
Driving
Fabulous and faultless to drive, but it's new, you'd expect it to drive well.
Performance
It's not quick, but can stand up and run if needed, it is diesel after all.

Living with it
Reliability
c'mon, it's an '05 plate with less than 7k, I should hope nothing has gone wrong yet

ok, so it is your grandads car, not exciting by any means.
Comfort
No problems here, very German, very comfy.

Security
Just try and steal it mate, alarms, immob's gadjets and doodads galore, (surprised you don't get a free dobermann to strap the bumper).
Service
hmmm, Breeze Volkswagon in Poole, idiots, worthless idiots, inability to determine the difference between arse and elbow.
