Living with it
Reliability
Now on 145K only had oil changes since 80K when I bought it.
Image
Not the most stylish car in the world.
Comfort
Nice comfy fully adjustable seats on GL.

Security and Service
Security
Standard security not good, but not exactly desirable to thiefs, get one with factory fitted alarm immobiliser.
Service
Awful, the worst thing about having a VW is their crumby dealers... Martins of Basingstoke hang your head in shame. Totally useless and aloof - its only a VW!
