  • Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    It says the driver likes his cars and is not someone who views them as a means to get from a to b..

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They all really like it, a few ladies have said they think it's a sexy and elegant and chaps like the sleek and sporty coupe look.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Too early to say.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    This is my first VW and I've been really quite impressed by everything so far. From the customer service experience at the dealership, to the build quality of the car and overall good value. It's far too early to say what I'd buy next, maybe a Jaguar XF.

    What's it like to drive?

    It's no 3 series, but I'm really quite smitten with it, it sticks to the road has three suspension settings. Comfort for on the way to work and sport for the drive home :)
