What do you think of the 2005 petrol Volkswagen Golf Plus 1.6SE 5-door, with manual gearbox, and in particular the FSi engine? Have there been problems with it?

The Golf Plus is a useful and practical family car that's ideal if you don't need the space/size of a larger MPV like the Touran. The 1.6 FSI is a decent engine too, and provides more than adequate performance. For a list of things to look out for click here: honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/volkswagen/golf-plus-200...d

A taller, roomier, more versatile version of the Golf Mk V. Good ride and reasonably tidy handling. The 2.0 TDI 140 DSG is the one to have.
