General Comments
An excellent, reliable and economical car that I'd recommend to anyone. The TDI engine gives better acceleration than I really want or need. Given the choice I'd rather forego sporty 0-60mph figures for even better fuel economy that used to come with the VW SDI engine. Not enough people were opting for SDI engines, renowed for fuel economy and longevity, so VW have withdrawn that option. The 0 - 60mph customers were happy to sacrifice 10mpg off fuel figures. Not me and I still long for the SDI engine!
