what DON'T you like about your Golf?
« on: 23 March 2009, 19:16 »
As topic says. What don't you like about your gti?

For me the biggest disapointment is the gear shift. It's vague n loose IMO. My previous rx8 had much better shifter so does my frds civic type-r. Hell even my sisters Suzuki swift sport feels nicer. All Japanese cars oddly lol. The dealership isn't that great tho still better than BMW IMO.

discussed elsewhere, but my pet peeve is the sliding seat mechanism. No bugger can figure it out when getting in the back, and when the seat is forward they always tilt the seat before sliding it. Invariably means me getting into my seat with the steering wheel under my nose, and taking 2 days to find my correct adjustment position. Bad times.

Haha, i've got a scratch on the VW badge in the centre of the steering wheel, that pisses me off too, thought we were going generic!

Thought of another one. How sh!t my Monza II's look after 4 years, thats definitely the biggest.

We've had this thread before - my gripe is the poor tailgate design that allows rainwater to pi$$ into the rear hatch when you open it :angry:
