Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great for comfort in traffic and for long trips. Can't compete with BMW on an A road but then again why should it?!
What's it like to park?
It's a big car with a long boot - you either get food at judging or get bumps on the back!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No. Lovely VW build quality.
What's most practical about your car?
Family size saloon. Just the ticket with two young kids in tow!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The extra chrome on the outside complements the lovely artix silver but it's the four electric windows I can control that entertains the kids the most!
