Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nice to drive, 80-85mph on motorway no problem with not intrusive engine noise, the seats are very comfy on long journeys as well. Its nippy around town, and holds the road well. Visibility is excellent.
What's it like to park?
Great, the power steering is light at low speeds and the car has a very tight turning circle making it a doddle to park. The rear window is a little small, but otherwise visibility is good.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
LCD Mileage and clock on dashboard loses some of the numbers now and then. This is going to be fixed by VW once the part becomes available. The keyfob has also been problematic, possibly a lose connection inside. Again, going to be fixed under warranty.
What's most practical about your car?
Lots of storage places for drinks. Seats are very comfy and good adjustments, reach adjustment on steering rare on a car this price
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The stereo is very good, excellent sound quality
