"Understated Motorway blaster- Luxury Wolf in Swedish Sheep clothing"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing whatsoever, problem free driving driving for 6 months & 5500 miles.

General comments?

Fabulous car if you want an understated low key motorway blaster, many an embarrassed & red faced BMW, Audi & Alfa Romeo driver left wondering what on earth just hit them at the traffic lights. Stunningly fast.

Comfort & practicality - great. Deep leather seats all the SE spec to be expected.

Easy & light to drive.

A real motorway distance runner- perfect motorway blaster.

Well, Performance is really good - yes it IS a quick car - comfort - is a point I would dispute - despite the seats 'adjustability' they simply AREN'T sports seats - - fuel economy - reasonable - 31mpg driven fairly hard - all-in-all - The Jury's out - My wife has a V5 Golf - much more comfortable - but it simply doesn't have the Turbo grunt!... Hmmm VALUE, now that's hard... I like it... all in all - but I have serious misgivings about the residuals- go for a Golf R32!
