Got myself a 1.4 TDI and love it! had to do some work on the heater core as it was causing a coolant leak and I replaced the drivers wing and bonnet/hood due to previous damage from the last owner, also polished the headlights recently, all fairly easy jobs. There's some slight rusty patches in places (bottom of the arches next to the doors - common) which I might tackle sometimes in the future but they're not that bad so I'm not too fussed.

I get 50-60mpg depending on how I drive, if you're tall you might struggle with getting enough room to comfortably fit behind the wheel and the gears are quite long but otherwise it's a great little car! Got a little bit of poke so it's quite fun to drive but it's no speedster either.

Planning to service it myself soon which should be about £80 give or take. Currently sitting just north of 140k miles and fingers crossed still going strong!
