Summary
What does this car say about you?
Not a lot as it's just a normal hatchback.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They're not really bothered,.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes definitely however would go for the 1.6tdi bluemotion with start stop and go for the trim level match or SE however would go for the SE trim as match can be quite expensive when it only comes with front parking sensors and sat nav with dab however SE including Auto lights,armrest RCD310 player much better than the standard one and alloy wheels including rear electric Windows,moreover go for the 1.6TDI but the 103 bhp test drove my friends and a lot of difference compared to the 89BHP that I own.
What are you likely to buy next?
VW Golf again but the more powered 103bhp with the SE trim in a silver colour with the 1.6tdi engine.
