It also featured the panoramic sunroof. For anyone looking for a spacious yet compact estate car this is a very good choice. The fitment of Michelin tyres to this car make quite a difference to its overall appeal. Thank you.

Reminds me of my 2015 Toyota Auris, best car I've ever had. There's a lot to be said for a mid-sized diesel hatchback. Quite a universal car really, for the vast majority of singles, couples or families they're perfectly fine. SUVs are popular at the moment because for a lot of people it's a case of "keeping up with the Joneses" and they believe it makes them more aspirational. But in practice they don't really give you a great deal more than an Astra.

Same here, except I couldn’t quite find a decent GT that hadn’t done too many miles for my budget, so I got a Match Edition instead. I used to be a Ford fanboy and tbh I still like the modern classics from the 90s and 00s, but after my Fiesta packed in due to a dodgy cooling system, and after learning about the EcoBoom horrors driving me away from getting a newer Fiesta or a Focus, I too have migrated to VW. I’ve even got a 2 year warranty and service plan with them.

The damn things do seem to bleep the hell of a lot - my Ateca does seem to give false positives on occassion but thankfully never a false negative!!

Another great video Matt. You’re one of very few traders I would buy a car from. Hat tip to you for being so honest. Are you doing a video about the Golf GT? That’s a really nice looking car.

The 3-door Leon! I have seen 2 of these in 10+ years. Looks very fine.

Very nice looking car, I agree. The sharp edged styling is great, better than a Golf

Great video as always. Chuffed you're getting a turn of the profit. Bet you wish it was always as straightforward as this one?😊 Keep up the good work!👍
