Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I only paid £5k for a fully loaded example. Best money I've spent.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not too bad… though VW service centres are not very helpful.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Smooth and comfortable.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    My auto had very smooth gear changes. A quick off the mark engine makes this car a joy to drive.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Only the usual routine stuff was required in 35k miles of driving.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For the price, I think I got a lot of car and a lot of comfort.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    My car had three failed break-ins. The 4th time they got it… suppose that's not bad. Gutted though.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    As said previously… service centres lack enthusiasm.
