Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Although one of the least powerful (100ps) diesels of the VW range, it goes well round town and cruises nicely on the motorway. Probably not as inspiring as others on the country lanes, but bags of torque equal some fun at least!
What's it like to park?
Seat is very adustable so easy to get yourself in a position to beable to see all corners - so not a problem to park.
