Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Brought from a VW Dealer. Expensive, but the warrenty has saved me hundreds of pounds.
Costs
Not too bad.

On the road
Driving
Good drive, but prefers the motorway.
Performance
Enjoyable, however it lacks quite a kick for a GTi.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Excellent. No prolems with the engine to date (touch wood).
Image
Looks are very appealing. Go for the 3 door rather than the 5.
Comfort
Very comfortable in the front. Had some complaints about the space in the back not that the driver should care!

Security and Service
Security
Still there hopefully.
Service
Poor in all honesty. The sales side is excellent, but they've got no interest in aftersales. A sign of the times, I guess.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Other
I've had enormous problems with the electrics of the car (windows falling down, airbag faults). Apparently these are common problems with VWs now as they purchase cheap parts from abroad. They're not major, but prove to be rather annoying.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?
Yes
Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
