mines a v5 auto. pretty juicy on short trips but does ok on a long run approx 36mpg. Its not the quickest thing but can put up a fight if the auto box thinks quick enough to drop a cog. As for comfort is superb. All the toys inc climatronic and lovely driving position. good for bad back and posture!ive had michelin tyres fitted so is smooth on motorways. The sound system is pretty good for standard with 6 disc changer too. The engine is chain driven so no cambelt to worry about and ive never had any bother reliability wise apart from the usual window dropping into the door(regulator) and rear axle bushes were replaced last MOT. They are cheaper than a golf and drive better,not as twitchy on the rear.
