Handles well, but a bit wallowy if pushed.
Performance
Fast as standard, but I have a chip and 154bhp!

Living with it
Reliability
Central locking packed in (fixed). Engine looses power at speed (VW still searching for answer).
Image
Although it's a VW, it's also an estate.
Comfort
Comfy, but can get irritable on long trips.

Security and Service
Security
Just an immobiliser on this one.
Service
Lack of helpfulness from service dept. Wrong parts ordered etc... inability to find current fault, cost so far £500. Still no joy!
