2.0 TDI 150PS GT DSG6 5dr

Excellent access and good quality.

I have owned this car for 6 years and found very few faults. It has been very reliable and very economical, averaging +/- 45mpg around town and 60+mpg (at 60-70mph) to 70+mpg(at 50mph). Only had a few niggles - 1. The clutch slave cylinder failed at 55,000 miles. Unfortunately, this means dropping the gearbox, so I had the clutch and flywheel changed at the same time...expensive!! 2. The interior piano black plastic trim is quite easily scratched. 3. If driven short distances mostly and not driven longish distances at cruising speeds, the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) light comes on, meaning that you have to drive around 20 minutes at 2,000 rpm or more. This is probably my fault for buying diesel, when I don't make too many long trips. The car itself still looks in excellent overall condition - after 67,000 miles. The interior quality is still there and although most reports slate the styling, I believe that it's not bad at all. Boot space is excellent and 6 footers can sit in the rear seats comfortably - at least 2 of them could! The rear seat is a bit tight for 3 adults, but not very uncomfortable. If VW still made the car, I would buy another, as it's definitely the best, most practical car that I have owned in over 45 years of driving.
