Yes. I am after a black three door myself. Get friendly with your local Shell Station though!

I ran one for 4 years , very good cars but VAG servicing costs are high

excellent cars - very capable and good VFM (bit wallowy round the bends - easily sorted)

I used to own a 51 plate 4Mo - 5 door with cream leather. Loved it, and I would consider another!

5 door for me, is fuel consumption bad when cruising on m/way also?

awesome cars - on gentle motorway cruising im getting about 28 mpg, if you're pushing it a bit more, then drops to about 23 mpg

Really nice car to drive, easy slow and around town, amazing fun when you get it out onto clearer roads. Best thing though is its understated...

Oh, selling mine by the way: 3 door indigo blue, santa monica alloys, black leather recaro interior, heated seats, tracker, sept 02 plate, 26k on the clock, pioneer avic 900 satnav system (but can be replaced with original six cd changer if wanted) £10k...

Had one as a company car and loved it, did about 40k in it from new, no issues at all.

this was actually an enquiry for my Mother who needs a new car but people keep saying what a great all round cars they are and I am being tempted to chop in my classic Scoob wagon for one (I must admit I am craving some creature comforts at present)

Motorway gets me 360 miles to a tank (£52/57 litres).
Around town this drops to 230.
I've had one for the past 3.5 years. Great car to own & very reliable. A lot of small issues such as MAFs can be done DIY without the need to give it to a dealer.

Make sure you get one with leather recaros, as opposed to leather 'sports seats'.
The Recaros are much nicer & help resale too. Also make sure its had a Haldex oil change every 20k and filter every 40k.

ps. My black 3dr is going to be up for sale soon. Keep an eye on the classifieds.
