General Comments
"Beautifully Crafted" - What rubbish, my VW Passat Estate 1.8T Sport 1999 had: New suspension all round, accelarator box, 4 new discs, new air conditioning unit, 5 new tyres at 3000 miles (they were "square") 3 new CV's 1 new drive shaft, all four doors "dropped" on their hinges etc., etc., etc. My advice - BUY A HONDA! NB My car has done just 33,000 miles.
