They are expensive to buy but it's well worth the extra as it will hold it's value.

Excellent. Fuel consumption average is 45mpg, even if you like to put your foot down. Parts & servicing are reasonable for a German car.

On the road
Driving
The ride can be a bit harsh at times due to the sports suspension, but handling is good.
Performance
For a 100bhp car, performance is brilliant, power is instantly available with virtually no turbo lag. It's quicker than my old Golf GTI although it could do with traction control, as it does wheel spin in 3rd gear when wet.
