I still drive the five door version of this car. Same colour, same 1.4 petrol engine. Mine was bought new in 2000 and will be twenty five years old next year. Only got 87,500 miles on the clock and garaged every night. I put two new front wings on it last year because of rust. Great car built like a tank. Only trouble are the door locks they go bad. There was a VW recall years ago to replace them. Seems all VW models of that time had lock issues. Mine is so old it has wheel trims not alloys lol.
