And the 1.4 is a godawful model, woefully underpowered and an absolute sow on petrol Your right about them holding their values so well though, to a lot of Irish people a VW badge seems to be the pinnacle of car ownership and the market value they hold reflects that thinking.

You'll never really understand why they make so much until you actually own one . I have to say I love my one and everyday I'm noticing new features on it. It's amazing how modern and advanced the mk5 is considering they were launched late 04. They do tend to hold there value well so you could look at it that way.

Ours is the poverty S trim yet still has it. Is it an 899?
