Fair point! Yeah it's actually a great car.you can't go wrong with a golf, yet it offers everything a Golf does but with a big boot, loads of legroom and some extra practical touches. It's not quite as practical as my old Scenic, but if you want a no-brainer car with some extra space, you can't go wrong. It doesn't have much personality but it has been very reliable, frugal, practical and good to drive over the last 38000 miles!

@carmanickАй бұрын
Hi, that is a challenge. If the battery is flat, i think the only thing to do is get a battery pack or jump leads on the connection point under the bonnet (positive is under the red cover by left headlight). This should give you power to move the seat back.
