Because it looks no smaller than a Passat and probably isn't a great deal cheaper. If you want a Golf with a boot, get the marginally bigger Passat, imho of course.

If you haven't broke it yet, you're not driving it hard enough

THe derv is not build for being driven hard, its build for doing between the speeds of 70 and 100 miles an hour all day every day, eating up the M1 mile by mile
