Economy
Costs
Got car 1 year old with balance of 3 years free servicing deal. Just before it and the 3 year warranty ran out dealer, found front discs needed replacing but Skoda/VW would not honour their warranty or free servicing deal. Argued for ages but paid dealer.

Living with it
Reliability
Fine, apart from the alloys can be pigs to remove.

A few leg pulls, but a lot of people 'in the know' gave you respect for ignoring the laughs and buying an excellent good value car.
Comfort
Fine in front, back a tad tight kneewise.
