In other news- I used to own one.

Highmiles show on the highlines due to leather interior.
Usual 90's Build Quality from VW which was good.
Low teen MPG thrashed and low 20's MPG at the best when not thrashed.
Engine BOMB proof if looked after - VW mechanic say good for 250k no probs- thrashing from cold kills them.
Pre 96 cars didn't come with galvanised doors and boot panels so suffer with rust...

Handling wise I found it a bit front heavy (obviously) and if I am honest not that quick... but the noise is enough to not be bothered.

Good looking car and for the money you can buy them for a good choice, just steer clear of the tatty ones.
