  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Cheap to buy mileage not a major factor...

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Hasn't gone wrong too often - airflow meter only major part needed - extortionate from VW at +/- £400 - thank god for independents - £40 second hand.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not exactly inspiring - solid and dependable.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Again unexciting - but more than adequate.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Lots of room and quiet ride.

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Never yet had cause to question - mine effectively alarmed and immobilised - so unloved nobody has tried to pinch it!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Couldn't be bothered with old models - very poor.
