Owners' reviews
Reliable, good rear boot. Bit plasticky inside with limited storage but XL version gets overhead storage. Manual needs 6 speed gearbox
Very Surprised and Very Happy.
07/06/15 DSG gearbox has let my car down badly after only 19,000 miles, lost drive on the motorway.
good car, easy to own, drive and reliable
comfy quick family car
Nice drive but prone to build quality problems, expensive to maintain.
