Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Second-hand price has dipped recently, so mint examples can be had for less than £5k.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Insurance is group 17, which is high considering its modest performance. 16V engine is cheaper to maintain compared to VR6.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Great handling but hard ride. A real grin factor though.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Rev happy engine that comes on song after 3500rpm. Refined, but not blistering performance.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    VW's renowned reliability not quite here - door handles break, sunroofs jam and heater controls are very flimsy.

    Not your average boy racer car. This car oozes class and style.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats are comfy, but suspension is firm. Cabin mostly rattle-free.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Aftermarket security a must if you want it parked outside your house when you wake up.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    The dealer service is terrible - find a good indepedant specialist and you should be okay.
