I'm looking at one as a replacement for my diesel golf so my girlfriend has something a bit smaller to drive.

I've found a nice 2006 GT spec with the 1.6 hdi 110bhp engine, but I'm not really sure what to look for with regards to common faults etc so I'd appreciate any comments from people in the know or your experience of this car if you've had one.

Thanks

Its French and over 5 years old so check all the electrics actually work. They can be expensive to work on as the engine bay is tight - to change the cambelt you need to drop out the drivers side strut, etc to get at the water pump which is also driven off of the cambelt, etc. |They come up cheapish but usually with good reason as servicing and parts can be pricey.
