No problems yet (touch wood). Still under warranty.
Image
It's a Golf, so not your typical bog standard small family car i.e. Astra, Focus.
Comfort
Very comfortable. Excellent cabin. Very well laid out. Armrest is fab.

Security and Service
Security
Remote alarm and central locking. VW locks an issue, though!!
Service
Not impressed at all... Infact one feels worried before entering the service department - not a very professional outfit. It's just the VW name that keeps them going.
