bought from a dealer. 108,000 miles 1395cc i enjoyed it for a bit but things started goin wrong (master clynder and rear axel bushes) i fixed these problems then a week later i blew the engien up. so it had a short tow to the scrap yard, i bought it for £550 and it lasted 5 months

Pros — very big lots of space
Cons — the spare wheel is is all wrong it in the boot but it sticks up so you carnt really get subs in, handles like a bus

Well as this is a VW, it's made from a solid block of granite. Built like a tank, this car is so strong, that when I had a bump in it, the only reason you could tell I'd had a crash was a smashed headlight.
However, that doens't excuse the sloppy suspension, pitiful engine (I had the TDi) that had no power and barly enough tourqe to get the car moving. The steering was soft, the ride was soft, the cabin was sparse and at times, you felt like you were actually in a boat. Looked horrible next to anyting other than a pile of entrails. I got rid of my old Fiesta for this? Well I was young and naive!

Pros — Build quality, can leave it anywhere unlocked because no-one is going to steal this car
Cons — Poor ride, poor suspension, no power, no fun

1.6L was quicker than any of my previous cars, but was by far the worst to drive and constantly needed attention. I bought it as an ex company car at that company's book value so it was a real bargain. Never again, tho'.

Pros — None.
Cons — Everything.

I owned this car longer than any other before and since then. Didn't matter what I threw at it, it just kept on going (except for when I blew the gearbox!)

Pros — Everything
Cons — Nothing
