Over rated at best. I've got an 09 leon Cupra as a company car.

It's not a patch on a classic scooby. No traction when you're driving it properly. When you do get it on the boil the traction control is prohibitive. Fuel consumption is dreadful.

I hate the way it feels when you're turning in hard.

I'm sure with harder suspension and a Remap it would be a massive improvement but I'm not or ever will be a fan of frontwheel drive turbocharged cars.

On the plus side the driving postition is excellent seats are very comfortable and vision is good.

The £1500 Bluetooth, satnav multimedia system is **** poor.
Sat nav is crap it doesnt allow you to put a full postcode in which can be a pain in the ****. In order to get mp3 onto the built in hard disk you have to burn your MP3 to a cd first. you cant put an original CD in and store it as it wont rip them.


The whole lot is average at best. As a company car though I cant complain.

Wow sounds as crap as I always thought they were!

Most muppets who bought these cars arounds here for personal use, were frustrated wannabe Golf owners........

But at least it has a decent engine.
