Good mid-sized family car (5dr). Decent boot space and interior storage. Excellent MPG if you can resist flooring it, although still good. Comfortable seats & driving position. The overall look of the car is spot on from all angles.
Bad Points
Expensive to buy a decent one. Spares are also quite pricey but worth it to have this car. Roughly £150 per tyre (18" 225 low profiles)
General Comments
We bought our car 2 months ago due to needing more space for our little girl and all her things. Always liked the Volkswagen Golf 1.9 GT TDi 130 Mk4. We saw this one, jet black, lowered suspension, R32 rear boot spoiler & 18" RS4 alloys, privacy glass in all rear windows, had to have it. My first diesel car, got a real surprise at the power available, the superchip (ECU re-mapped) giving it an extra 40bhp is amazing, if needed whips ass with a lot of sporty petrol cars, pushes out 170-175bhp. The 6spd box helps a lot especially on long journeys. No complaints about this car at all, definitely consider another when we come to buy again. Good sporty looks, without looking like a boy racers car. For a diesel the engine is really quiet. Recommend timing belt change @ 60,000mls to be on the safe side.
