General Comments:

Unlike previous reviews, I haven't experienced any of the mentioned problems. The mechanics are in perfect working order, and it's very easy to keep up in modern day traffic. Especially in the first three gears, it accelerates very quickly, mainly due to the System Porsche 100 BHP engine and its light weight.

No complaints on handling whatsoever, you just have to remember that it's over 20 years old now, so there is bodyroll and slightly heavy steering.

All in all, I'm still very pleased with my Malaga. I've driven more modern cars from the Volkswagen Group, but I wouldn't swap my lovely old Seat!
