    When did you buy the car?

    February 2015

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Had previously used the same dealer when I bought last car (Polo 2012), the sales rep done us a great deal on 3 occasions so we used him again and he didn't disappoint. Was a lot cheaper than buying brand new plus with low miles.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Stunning looks, excellent VW engine, powerful & quick, yet elegance with a hint of sporty. Plus got a great deal from VW.

    What was the dealer like?

    Helpful & freindly, knew what he was talking about, listened to us, and pulled a few strings to keep us a VW customer.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    An excellent motorway cruiser, pleasure to drive on long journeys. I keep it in comfort as this smooths over the speed bumps. It's very quick & powerful, the 2nd best car I have driven, after the BMW 3 series. Cruise control is great on long journeys yet also efficient.

    What's it like to park?

    With the ultra sonic parking sensors, it is a doddle. Would be rather difficult without them as it is a long and fairly wide car.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Everything is running smoothly, though one of the front parking sensors can go a bit funny after I get my car washed, though this is a minor issue.

    What's most practical about your car?

    It's a large coupé, where 5 adults can comfortably travel, the rear is really good for space considering the roofline slouches, no headroom issues. Boot space is a huge plus as we now have a child, bigger than most in its class. Refinement is good as most outside noises are blocked, especially on motorways.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    The multifunctional touchscreen system is great, along with the heated seats. Plus the additional perks of being the range topping spec.
