What's it like to drive?
When it does choose to work, its a really nice car to drive. Sturdy and reassuring, although this was only once I'd had proper sports suspension fitted. Before that going round corners was a bit unsteady.

Living with it

Most unreliable car I've ever owned. Have replaced suspension, turbo, head gasket & just about anything that can go wrong has. Check vwaudi forums.. loads of common problems with this car & I've had them all.
What's most practical about your car?
Economy on motorways is amazing.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
None really. Pretty boring interior, though well made.
