    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not cheap, but still quality car and feels very solid.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Reasonably economical for a car of this type. Servicing ok.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Drives well, even at 10 years old. Steering a bit heavy even with PAS.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not what I would expect from a GTi. I should have bought the 16V as the 8V is very disappointing. My previous diesel Golf felt faster!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Looks good but shame driving doesn't match.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Hard ride, seats not too comfortable on a long journey.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Need a immobiliser to be fitted.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    VW service was still good despite age of car. Special deal for older vehicles. Felt dealer still was interested despite age, maybe I was lucky with dealer.
