The power isn't there but the spec was better than my ED30! I think a similar car would be fantastic as a second car should the need arise.

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:

It's not Help Hire is it?

Between graduating Uni and disappearing off to Australia for a few months, I worked for them. Crap pay but best job in the world - I delivered the like-for-like courtesy cars, everything from a Kia Picanto to an M6 with delivery mileage to 911 C4S. We had loads of VW's and in was there I fell in love with DSG.

neg:
I had a help hire car one - Golf GT TDI DSG when the Mk4 went it for a bumper scrape (3rd party).  Was ok.

Dont really notice any missing option, I have them all on my GTI   :wink:

No, don't think so. It has the name of the dealer stamped all over the place - doors, mirrors and the word "courtesy" in big letters. How's a Help Hire one different?

It's a TDI but I can't seem to make the turbo work. Very slow. Too slow in fact to make it back to the service dept in time (traffic compounded the problem - why is it there's always traffic when you need to be somewhere fast?). So I'm stuck with the car until tomorrow morn. Plus I gotta remember to put some derv in.

Also got heated leather seats, arm rest and a tray where the diffuser would go.

My dealer always gives me a 1.4 polo , the bastids !!! 

But like Marky says its the fastest car i've ever been around town in !!!  :driver:
