I've driven a few, I considered one when I bought the Skoda. I loved them, decent handling, smooth ride, refined, massively torquey and smooth, and their not slow. Not exactly fast though, a '6 wouldn't be left behind despite having 800cc less and 2 cylinders less, mainly because mk3s are so weighty. They are just a nice drive, and the sound is amazing 
Only thing that put me off was a mate having one and with 50-60mph 30 mile trips to work he was averaging 29mpg driven gently :o
