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

Economy
Value
Ok. You don't get a lot for your money.
Costs
Very expensive to run. Seem to be constantly buying new parts. In the last year, it has had a new head gasket, gearbox, clutch, brakes all round, suspension all round, new heater system as well as the normal wear and tear components.

Driving
Excellent handling for age. Maybe a little too sloppy at the rear. A little under-torqued, but good amount of power at middle revs. Power steering a must!
Performance
Pretty good for a 14 year old car. Will beat most hatches of the modern day.

Living with it
Reliability
Shocking.
Image
It has a nice image. Not too much of a boy racer car, unlike its rivals.
Comfort
Really comfortable to drive. It just took four people and their luggage and snowboards to the south of france wirh relative ease and comfort.

Security and Service
Security
Good idea to get an aftermarket alarm.
Service
They still think VW are the most reliable cars in the world. And with that, they appear arrogant at times.
