Large family
1
Good: Fantastic to drive. Refined and comfortable to travel in. Massively roomy cabin and huge boot. Quality apparent wherever you look. Excellent value. Efficient ECOnetic models.
Bad: Large size means it can be tricky to park without parking sensors. Top models list prices quite high new. 2010 facelift did not improve its looks.
2
Good: Limousine-like amounts of rear legroom, clever dual tailgate means it's both a hatch and a saloon, handles well, GreenLine model is very economical, a lot of car for the money.
Bad: Earlier 1.9 TDI engine is noisy and lacks refinement, hatchback lacks a rear wiper. Usual hesitation from DSG autos.
3
Good: Hugely improved, very comfortable and refined, good ride quality on broken surfaces, wide range of engines including excellent TSI petrols, BlueMotion CO2 figure now 109g/km which beats latest Mondeo Econetic.
Bad: A thorough facelift rather than an all new car.
4
Good: Neatly styled, entry-level models a good balance of ride and handling, excellent 2.2-litre diesel engine.
Bad: Saloon version not popular, DPF problem with 2.0 diesels can lead to engine failure, No spare but full size spare available at £70.
5
Good: Refined and rides smoothly, well thought out interior, ideal with 2.2 i-DTEC engine, robust build quality.
Bad: 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre i-VTEC engines with automatic gearboxes less impressive, no hatchback version.
6
Good: Efficient new 1.8 Valvematic petrol engines almost as economical as diesels. Excellent Multidrive S CVT. Good quality ride. Very reliable.

7
Good: Extremely good-looking family saloon. Neat interior, Very comfortable. Hydractive suspension isolates driver and passengers from the road. Estate is practical. Efficient HDi engines.
