Economy

Reasonable for a VW.

Average for a VW !

On the road
Driving
Suspension a little soft/sloppy.
Performance
Typical 16v, needs working. Should have been quicker - find a tad uninvolving.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
Still looks nice on the road. Dark colours tend to look a bit more menacing. The 16v should have been made to stand out more from the 8v (not just a 16v badge!)
Comfort
Much more comfortable than a Mk2.

Security
Average.
Service
Haven't experienced any yet, but judging by other VWs that I've owned, would imagine it to be less than average. Do they really care?
