Performance - Awesome. Acceleration 8/10, Braking 9/10, Handling 9/10 Build Quality - Solid. "Sounds like a Golf" and the diesel engine roars like a lion, but only sounds like a purr from the inside. ^_^ Appearance - Silver. Nice and shiny. Just wanted it in a more "exciting" colour. Cost of ownership - Done about 26000 miles in less than a year. (I am a travelling salesman) Maintenance - only changed a tyre once due to a puncture by a nail. Fun Factor - Nippy, fast on the acceleration and looks very cool to top it all off. 9/10 for FUN!

It's all good, enough power for most but also delivers a genuine 70 mpg, nav system is great and incorporating a hard drive for music and a great Bluetooth phone. The car looks great and goes well, the handling isn't the best but hey ho what do you expect for 30k?

VW's over the years have had a bad reputation for reliability. I can honestly say, I was always skeptical of those claims. My TDI has been the paragon of reliablilty and overall quality. The interior wouldn't be out of place in an Audi. Very comfortable seats, great driving position and superior ergonomics. The only driving complaint I have is a slightly soft brake pedal. The brakes work great just need to be a little firmer. Wind noise has been a complaint of the MKVI Golfs, GTI's. This really is my only knock on the car. I would definitely recommend any of the Golf variants to anyone wanting a fun, practical and economical vehicle.
