Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very comfortable for coming with 18'' alloys, handling is sharp and steering feels just right not massively over assisted like in some other makes of car.
What's it like to park?
Not the easiest car to reverse into spaces I've ever driven because of the factory tinted windows but otherwise good. Some cars have an optional reversing camera in the VW badge which would be handy.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Touchwood, nothing has broken or gone wrong.
What's most practical about your car?
Well it's a Golf so yes, large boot and has optional auto boot opening, handy when your hands are full. There's good room in both front and back and entry to the back isn't bad for a 3 door car.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Multi-fuction steering and cruise control are nice.
