Overall reliability

Average at best - EGR valve went and leak in the boot

Third second hand golf I have owned. I'm less than impressed This one got to 52000, full dealership service history. EGR vale went putting car into limp mode, after a quick google it looked like this would be expensive to repair and possibly lead to other problems so decided to sell. The bottom leaked water, which also seems a common problem. Fuel economy was good though, usually 50MPG even on country roads.
