If the boot is big enough for you with the seats not folded then it’s definitely worth test driving unfortunately we took one look and quickly ruled it out and it wasn’t quite big enough. The same with the X1.
We chose a Tiguan which feels very similar in quality and safety plus the way it drives but the boot is just a bit bigger and all the tech you need and more comes as standard inc the panoramic roof, which I agree I wouldn’t pay £1000 for.
mpg wise I get average 50.2 with mixed driving pretty much spot on what Vw state.
