    A bit expensive on petrol as you would expect from a GTi sport engine.

    I quite like the shape of the GTi model, especially with the factory fitted spolier.

    Quite comfortable with all the gadets within easy reach with tilted dashboard.

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The remote style is a bit out-dated, but the alarm and the immobiliser are superb.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Haven't tried the manufacturer. Very easy to do and seldom there is a need of something to be done so I do it myself.
