General Comments

Loved this car to bits at first, it's rapid, handles like a dream, pulls admiring glances and relatively economical. The big downside is the reliability, mine has now covered 32000 miles and to date has needed, new gearbox, new aircon unit, new engine valve, new petrol tank and new suspension bushes at the back! No, the car has not been thrashed to death, I just think I have been very unlucky and it's tainted my view of VW somewhat. I would not buy this car again which is a shame.
