Very good
This is a short update to my previous comments; I have now unexpectedly part-exchanged this at 31,000 miles over 30 months, following a truly unbelievable offer to exchange it for a stunning 420d M-Sport Coupe from the ever reliable Dick Lovett of Swindon (review to follow)
I have little to add to my previous review other than to underline how pleased overall I have been with the car and the dealership. Once the cooling issue was sorted I had no further warranty repairs. Economy and insurance costs were very acceptable. It really was a sleepless night decision to replace it and I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking at a premium Golf/Audi A3 class of car, provided rear seat room and comfort is not a priority.
