2022 Volkswagen Taigo 1.0 TSI Life 5dr Hatchback with Reversing Camera

Description

I’ve had this little Taigo for a couple of years now, and it’s been a real joy to drive. It’s not flashy, but it’s got that neat, sharp look with the Metallic Reef Blue paint — feels like it’s been designed for city life without being too bulky. The 16-inch Everett alloy wheels give it a bit of presence, and the auto headlights and adjustable mirrors make parking easier than I expected.

Inside, it’s clean and comfy — the seats aren’t plush, but they’re solid and keep you in place. The big touchscreen in the dash is pretty handy, especially with the navigation and wireless phone connect. The rear-view camera is a real plus when I’m backing up, and the digital dash gives you a good read on things like speed, fuel, and driver assist features. Things like Adaptive Cruise Control and Front Assist help me feel more relaxed on the motorway or in traffic. Park Assist is a small win when trying to squeeze into tight spaces.

It’s also CAZ and ULEZ compliant, so I can drive through city zones without any issues. I’ve only done a few hundred miles in total, so it’s been pretty well looked after.

I’m based in Peebles, Scottish Borders, and it’s been a good fit for my daily commute. The price is £12,861 — not a lot for a car this size, honestly. I’m not looking for much, just a solid, reliable little hatch that gets the job done. If you’ve got a similar need, I’d be happy to chat.
