On the road
Driving
Would say 5, but it's not a GTi. Have to leave that slot free for the King.
Performance
I only had a 1.4, but willing enough for only 60bhp.

Living with it
Reliability
Didn't stop until someone broke it on me.
Image
Could say so much, but in one word, 'GOLF'.
Comfort
BEST IN ITS CLASS. No other small family or medium family or hot hatch can beat it. Made to outlast its owner by far.

Security and Service
Security
Mine poor, but noone touched it for fear of their fingers if I caught them :D
Service
Got timing belt and fan belt off them as I couldn't trace last change. The 1.4 is EASY for changing both - don't let dodgy spanner monkies charge you much uits an hour work to d oboth iof your slow.
