Value
Hold value exceptionally well compared to Ford, Vauxhall, Renault, Rover, etc.
Costs
Particularly surprised when I needed to replace the inside back door trim. Only £30. Was expecting lots more.

Driving
Many have written bad reports of the abilities of this car, but we all don't all drive like Tiff Needell or Jeremy Clackson, particularly on British roads.
Performance
Even better with 'superchip!!!'

Living with it
Reliability
Only issue in nearly three years was a new alternator. This was changed under manufacturers warranty.
Image
I think it's better than the current Mk 5 version, but it obviously down to personal taste. The trim is of better quality though.
Comfort
Excellent. Better trimed than others in it's class.

Security and Service
Security
Excellent.
Service
Volkswagen customer service stinks and some dealers are not helpful either. It's a real shame that they can't manage the same as Lexus dealers.
