Good Points

Feels reassuring at motorway speeds.
Economical.
TDI engine is torquey and pleasant to live with.
Illuminated sun visor mirrors.


Bad Points

Stodgy feel
Centre armrest is awkward up or down.
Build is much more average than I expected of VW.
ICE controls are very poor design and location.
Seats offer little lumbar support.
Remote central locking generally irritates by being over complicated and remote buttons look/feel the same at night.


General Comments

I've had various different company cars over the years, but this is my first VW. It wasn't what I expected, it seems to have it's fare share of minor problems and creaks inside, plus the dealer I have used seems only average. It took three visits to sort out a problem with the electric windows playing up. Surprising is the irritating design issues, like the radio controls being almost unusable while you are driving. It all tends to get on your nerves after a while when you drive a lot. To be honest, my previous car (Astra 2.0 DTi CD) was a better car by some margin.
