Awful car (wife chose it not me!), ugly, creaky, cumbersome to drive, auto lights won't turn off, constantly on, engines are rubbish, noted for problems (BXE engine, google it!), nasty, greyish colour, loads of faults, rear wiper fails randomly, ABS module failed, another VW "common fault", corrosion starting in weird places, cheap plastics used on dash, hollow sounding, hard. Terrible mpg for what is a small diesel, TDI engine is extremely harsh and vibey, clutch heavy and jerky, not a nice car to drive. Does have plenty of pep for 100bhp though which is its only redeeming feature!
