same engine as the golf, apart from its turned round 90degrees for some reason! engine over hangs the front wheels a bit so dont expect it to handle well.
can be tuned well, wont be as fast as the golf due to it being a fair bit heavier.
good cars i looked at them but realised i could afford a golf so went for the golf!

exactly. that was why i looked at them. something quickish but much more comfortable and grown up. this one near me is blue with 18s on (look like golf or audi rims) on coilovers and it looks really reall nice. would never had thought they only cost 2k

yes, lots of RVF black silicon, when looking at them, check the housing, and the n/s front and rear carpet for damp/water marks

vw recommend that its easier to take the engine out to change the oil pump! it is a mission, need to drop the box off if you want to change it in situ!
