Really?

I have you know that I spent 7 months of unhappy Vectra sri diesel ownership (company car) in 2006. The way to light steering and front end, combined with the touch sensitive indicators drove me mad. I complained and junked the piece of sh!t in for a Golf GT TDI.

Build quality is an oxymoron.

but did u test drive one before getting it. :huh: thus highlighting the cars characteristics, not actual problems :wink:

i have had a ashtray for 3 years, same indicators, no issues :smiley:

its a motorway and commuting tool, not a sports car, steering is fine on the ones i have driven but then I didnt expect it to handle like a sports car.

so was it the car, or you and your expectations of it :smiley:

for the price,

the fact i can get it fixed by the lads at work cheap or free, using all the tools / test equipment,

and it is the same price as a 10 year old VAG with double the miles ( summat they dont know inside out at work )

for my requirements right now its ideal. :tongue:

Post by: T_J_G on 28 August 2011, 08:51: What kind of kit has it got?

Before I got the Bora my Dad had me looking at 06/56 top spec mondeos for pretty much the same price as my older Bora.
Title: Re: another Big Thanks
Post by: Rhyso on 28 August 2011, 09:52: Aircon
Cruise
Front and rear parking sensors
17inch alloys
cd changer (i think)

Didn't pay too much attention to the spec; was more concerned with the mechanicals of it :smiley:

Its a lot of car for not a lot of money

I'll try to keep the tractor away from it.
