Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Quite expensive at the outlay but good strong residuals. A lot of car for the money. Can you put a value on class?
Costs
Have had to have a service yet, does however deliver over 50 mpg.

Driving
Absolutely fantastic handling for this class of car. Far superior to any mk4 golf I've driven, including V5 and V6 4x4.
Performance
Fantastic mid range grunt for a 103 bhp diesel. Not that different from the 140 bhp GT TDi if driven "normally".

Living with it
Reliability
Doesn't appear as well put together as our mk4. Bits of trim falling off and other annoying faults that will hopefully be covered by the warranty.

A golf says everything about you and nothing about you.
Comfort
Fantastic seats (with standard lumbar support). Seat lowers for sportier feel and good steering wheel adjustments.
