Great

* Really sprightly around town
* Cheap to buy and run
* VW badge works wonders

Gripes

* It looks and feels pretty plain inside
* Doesn't come with much safety kit
* “Extras” aren’t exactly inspiring
DriveDrive rating - 4 out of 5 stars
Quick to pick up the pace and protects you from all but the deepest of potholes
ReliabilityReliability rating - 3 out of 5 stars
It’s sturdier than it is stylish, but should last you quite a while
InsideInside rating - 3 out of 5 stars
VW has opted for function rather than form, but it does feel very comfy
SpaceSpace rating - 4 out of 5 stars
What a lot it’s got! Plenty of room for three tall friends and lots of luggage
SafetySafety rating - 3 out of 5 stars
Ticks the basic boxes with anti-lock brakes and front airbags but don’t expect any more
Standards and extrasStandards and extras rating - 2 out of 5 stars
Oh dear – and it was doing so well! Even the top spec is disappointing
