Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great performance although does get a bit noisy. Awful ride quality though - combination of sports suspension and big alloys means you get shaken to pieces in the front, and it's even worse in the back
What's it like to park?
Not bad although a bit hard to see where the front is

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Airbag sensors failed several times, lots of rattles in the trim which feels very cheap
What's most practical about your car?
Economy from the TDI
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
CD multichanger, but I don't think it was a factory option as it came with a VW manual
