Disagree.A lady at work has one and is selling it purely because it doesn't have space.
I sat in one and felt claustrophobic at 5 ft 11.

Reliability? The 1.4 engines are crap run too hot, crack piston rings drop valves. Auto boxes will need a rebuild/replace at 100,000 miles if not sooner, all at vast expense. Diesel manual the best choice, lowest CO, zero particulates.....oh they don't do one anymore.Senexdriver on 13 May 2019

I wouldn't have any VW based car as they're not as reliable as many think, too expensive for what you get and extras, often standard on other marques, come as expensive options.Roy Fuller on 14 May 2019
Far too expensive.Ymris10 on 14 May 2019
What's the ride like? No good if it's harsh on our rubbish roads.beecee on 16 May 2019
Down to servicing if the oil changed 5/6k or 6 monthly & all fluids & major servicing done properly they should be reliable. I've got an Accord at 174k running sweet. But Madam had a Golf Driver from Motability, I bought it but had to sell. The buyer reported the Auto-box went a few months later.Plodding Along on 17 May 2019
Audi. Consistently score pretty low on the JD Power Dependability Study.Based on that fact alone I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. Nor a BMW, nor anything Land Rover.
And yet a significant number of people are still badge snobs who are willing to pay way over the odds to impress their neighbours.
Would much sooner go for a Kia, Hyundai or Suzuki. The most reliable cars money can buy. After all, isn't reliability the number one thing we should be looking for in a car? It definitely is for me.
