Overall reliability
Practical easy to park and drive in town economical
What's Good: Plenty of space for the family. Feels safe and solid on the road. Very economical. Easy to drive in town.
What's Bad: Engine noisy on startup. Cabin not well insulated. Difficult to have a conversation at motorway speeds. Fuel leak at 22K Diesel poured over engine. Hose had detached.
Complete ABS pump failure at 38K Vw would not cover any costs. Repair cost over £800
Car made in Mexico seems to be less well built compared to my last Golf hatchback.
