1 lady owner from new with full VW history and believe me it shows for £500.

Serviced every 5000 miles and in 2 years and 30,000 miles only had to replace blowing exhauts and fan belt that snapped, serviced by independent.

Not bad. Reasonably predictable handling.

Please 1600cc diesel without a turbo, need I say more?

Living with it
Reliability
Cannot fault. Just getting a bit old now. Looking for something newer but has converted me to the VW gang, such good cars.
Image
The bad bit. I bought it cos my old Escort really broke. Sadly it's burgandy and 5 door, but at least no one wants to nick it.
Comfort
Not bad. Absorbs bumps well.

Never had it tested, but given age can't see it being that good.
