Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought nearly new with only minor discount - pricing car when compared to FOCUS, but Golf interior is a class above any rival below Audi A3.
Costs
No expense on anything except for fuel and this engine is already doing 60mpg with only 1500 miles on the clock.

On the road
Driving
Suspension and roadholding not as bad as critics would have you believe. Brilliant on the motorway as quiet as a church mouse!
Performance
Barn storming for 20-45 in second gear and agian in 3rd from 30 - 50 mph. What acceleration whilst on the move.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Early days yet - so far so good.
Image
Top class. Will be eclipsed by new Golf Mk V shortly, but in diesel form which the car buying public are obsessed with, this is the real McCoy!
Comfort
First rate.

Security and Service
Security
Unable to tell!
