Driving
Good drive. Can easily bring a smile to the face.

A suprising car for some of the GTi's on the road. Don't expect this car to be as quick as it is. Very impressed.

Security and Service
Security
Dead lock, alarm and immobiliser as standard helps to give peace of mind.
Service
Servicing was ok. I did feel that they weren't too interested in your thoughts and opinions. More interested in getting you in and out.
