Summary
What does this car say about you?
That i enjoy cheap cost effective motoring, but at the same time im not very stylish, which is why it will soon be gone

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very Nimble and responsive! Great turning circle and light steering for city driving. However, the 55ps engine is very underpowered and the fuel economy is pathetic for a 3 cylinder engine! Oh Dear VW! Please disgard this sowing macnine of an engine.
What's it like to park?
Excellent! high driving position and great seat adjustment gives you a panoramic view out of the car. Light steering and clutch make parrallel parking a doddle.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yep, sticking electric windows and stereo stoped working. VW need to learn that the brazillian factory doesn't produce cars of a high standard. VW's should be built in germany!
What's most practical about your car?
Versatile rear seating and plenty of cup holders, other than that not much else...
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Electric windows and remote central locking are a must! BUT the remote key wasn't supplied which is unacceptable as 4 vehicles at this dealership were sent without remote keys!! NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR VW The protection pack is ideal for an urban run-around.
