Pros: Performance, economy, comfort, ride, handling, space
Cons: Back seat does not fold flat, VW servicing costs
Price: $18,630 to $30,720
It can tow 1300kg which is more than the other small cars and it has more rear seat room than other small cars too. There is plenty of room for 4 adults.
Ride and handling are great. Fuel consumption on a trip at 100 to 110 km/hr is 4.5 L/100km.
Towing an AVan ALiner the fuel consumption was 7.2L/100km over 11,000km.
The only problem in 60,000 km was a rattle in the driver's door which VW fixed. VW servicing costs are high, I get it serviced elsewhere.
