On the road

Top spec driving for a car of this age. Still 10x better than a 2002-reg Astra even!
Performance
The 1.8 engine feels superb! Perfect engine for the size of the car.

Living with it
Reliability
My car has done a smooth 132k miles and still running beautifully due to regular servicing.
Image
For a 1994-reg car, it still looks good even today! Great young driver's car!
Comfort
Driver has sport spec interior. Comfortable front seats, but rear seats not good for motorway driving.

Security and Service
Security
Had to put an alarm/immobiliser fitted due to break in. Security is a bit too standard.
Service
VW main dealers are too over priced on servicing and parts. Car serviced at specialists instead.
