Look at Whatcar website

www.whatcar.com/car-review-performance.aspx?RT=148&ED=4166&U=1

Hope you've bought it for economy and not speed.

Top speed 99mph!

On the plus side its well built and nice inside.

You could always put a TDi engine in it

This web-site has all to do with car breakdown and explaining problems. And all to do with adverting.

Er dude, this site was never set up to be a repositry of information about maintenance.

However it is full of people who do know where to find the information. If you have an issue with any advertising feel free to use the Report Abuse button, however, as a mod, I've got no problems with any of the links here and to be brutally honest I welcome it. I'd forgotten about www.golfgti.co.uk
