  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Great for comfort in traffic and for long trips. Can't compete with BMW on an A road but then again why should it?!

    No. Lovely VW build quality.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Family size saloon. Just the ticket with two young kids in tow!

    The extra chrome on the outside complements the lovely artix silver but it's the four electric windows I can control that entertains the kids the most!
