Solid and reliable
Overall the car is very good. Probably the best I've ever owned by a long way. Even the 1.4 engine is pokey.
I do have a couple of minor gripes and one major one though:
Minor - the seats are not very comfortable on a journey lasting over an hour, and the album art doesn't show on the screen when playing the iPod. (Very picky one that.)
Major - VW seem to have problems supplying spare parts. I drove into a bollard and crunched my nearside front wing at the beginning of January. The repairer is struggling with replacement delivery dates so I called the VW Customer Service number they gave me. The lady there said it could take as long as 6 months.
So, my advice is make sure you tick the car hire option on your motor insurance or buy a Focus!
