The Appeal

Here we have a very handsome example, fitted with the optional DSG system and carefully upgraded in a few key areas. It’s clearly been very well maintained, coming as it does with verified low mileage, an extensive history file and a fine service record. There are few everyday cars that are this well built and practical, yet can also give a serious sports car a run for its money down a twisty B-road. This is one such car.
