Having owned my T5 for 4 years, it has now covered 273k, 120k in my ownership. I cannot ask for a more reliable, low cost ownership car.It goes like a train, and with LPG is not too heavy on the fuel costs. Makes an excellent tow car.
Bad points - x police must use a "sports" chassis, which on anything less than a billiard table smooth road, results in crashing around.
It's big and heavy, certainly no sports car round windy roads
It's not that fast off the mark, but once on the move flies, so town centres are not it's natural hunting ground.
Worst point is round town, the steering lock makes parallel parking a pain
The insurance and road tax are high - although this is offset by it's low purchase cost and low maintenance costs.
