My sister just got one a 4wd not a 2wd and so far it seems a decent motor. 2.0TDCi she sold her Mk5 CDTi SRi 3dr xp Astra for it as shes expecting a little one. Admitably not to every ones taste but as a "mums bus" it seems pretty reasonable.
To those who say rubbish, yes if your wanting a RS but these are in a compleatly different catagory, and In my opionion are much better buy than the Freelander, antera, Quashqui and such. And as she wasnt wanting VAG as there in her opinion a bit boring and common. The Q3/5 and Tiguian were not a option.
That is all..
