Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The fan belt had to be replaced, I am told they brought in a new design which had a problem. The VW dealership fixed it at no cost.
What's most practical about your car?
It is built like a tank. It has been hit twice and each time it was just cosmetic damage. I feel very safe in it. it is small and economical.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
It is a basic model so no gadgets to speak of.
