It does all the important stuff well. As from reading the 'other' thread, most of the annoyances were niggles rather than major flaws.
My previous Ford Focus handled brilliantly, but that was its party piece. Aside from that, it had a dashboard that was seemingly made of egg boxes stuck together with blu tac, a turning circle like a Boeing 747, a stereo that sounded like a fly in a bottle and doors that closed like a biscuit tin lid.
No such issues with the VW. Everything (well nearly everything) is exactly as it should be.
