General Comments:
The car has been driven in a proper manner... not like a F1 pilot.. but the overall quality of the components is low!
I will certainly never buy a VW product anymore... the official service center is very expensive, no parts on stock.. it is a complete disaster!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

We own a Ford Galaxy Tdi (130) Bhp and every now and then the clutch seems to slip and the pedal won't come all the way back up!
