Economy
Value
3 years old, 95K miles, 6K. Depressing that it has to be serviced every 10K at £200 a time.
Costs
Fuel economy isn't great - 30-31mpg avg. How ever did VW get 34.9 for the combined figure?

On the road
Driving
Not the sportiest in the world, but excellent on the motorway.
Performance
Diesels feel faster, but the turbo still does its stuff!

Living with it
Reliability
106K and counting fast...
Image
Well respected, not too flash but does the business.
Comfort
Great on the motorway. Seats are very good long distance. 1/2 leather / Alcantra and heated so great in winter - and they look good.

Security
No problems so far...
Service
The dealer pointed out 1/2 worn brake pads (10K left) but failed to spot the 4 tyres on the legal limit!
