Economy
Value
For a chunky looky car with a good reputation, I would say great value.
Costs
Paid £5300 for her, I would have paid £6000. Would prefer to run on diesel but still cost effective on petrol. Very economical.

Had a Mini and a Ka before - LOADS better than them!

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down and I do a lot of travelling every week. Bless my car!
Image
Even though it has a dinky 1.4s engine, looks sporty and very stylish. Has a good reputation and I love driving around in her. As soon as you say you drive a Golf, people are instantly impressed. Best thing I have ever purchased!
Comfort
Even though I haven't got the deluxe version, the interior is very comfortable and slick. Electric everything and loads of space in the boot and back for the shopping!
