Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The only thing was the rear wash wiper connection pipe broke in freezing weather 3 times, sorted very quick and easy though! not much else really!
What's most practical about your car?
well the most impractical was the colour - black. people told me it is hard to keep clean and it was. but looked great when it was clean. I like the roomyness and the turn of comfortable yet sporting speed.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
6 speed cruising, feeling of quaility. I have to say the TDI engine is great....and Im a petrol head!
