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

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not cheap, but this is outweighed by excellent reliability (so far!)

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Main dealer servicing expensive, but plenty of places specialise in VW's and charge less.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very comfortable to drive.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    By no means 'fast', but capable of cruising at illegal speeds on the motorway all day long. Predictable handling gives confidence and the ability to have some fun. Brakes are poor. Fuel economy really suffers when driven hard
