Any of you had a hire car from VW before?

I got a 5-dr Golf TDI. Dunno about engine size, gotta be small. Even my mk4 fiesta was quicker. But it does have:

- highline (not bothered)
- MFSW (yeah it's okay but nothing special)
- Phone capabilities (nice)
- Cruise control (OMFG! How cool is this??!? :laugh:). Rest of it was bog-standard.

Amazing how many features you still find on a mk5 non-gti too. Figured the wheel stitching was limited to only the GTI.

And it was a derv! Mpg was double for the GTI for my normal route. The only crap thing was the lack of power. There was none!

How about you guys?

I have not had a hire car from VW for a service or anything.  But my car is currently in a body shop that is either part of VW or one of their partners.  When I went into them for a quote to repair the bus damage they gave me the phone number of "their" accident repair company who are dealing with my car.  I got a like for like replacement so currently have a 2008 GTI (this one has DSG).

For servicing I normally drop off and walk into the town center for a few hours, far to much hassle to arrange 75 weeks in advance for a hire car.  :smiley:
