Title: Mine's gone
Post by: Egbutt Wash on 18 April 2012, 19:43
After 4 years and 47,000 miles my GTI had not one thing go wrong.
Swapped it at a main VW dealer.  So someone on here might get my old car.

My dog hated them.  Got a big Merc instead.
I run a few cars.  Stopped even bothering getting the GTI out of the garage so time to change.
I'm over on another forum and don't want you lot popping in.  So the model is secret.

Did you not say another VW?  :huh:


Been in a number of the new mercs now... not impressed. fancy vauxhall's which they manage to disguise quite well. Since I had a long on going saga at Mercedes Leeds I decided that I would never purchase a Merc in my lifetime. Even their HO were pretty poor at dealing with complaints...... iirc after a few letters and realising they were wrong they just stopped correspondence. Good luck with the benz... you may well need it.

And they'e painfully ugly. Unless you go for the SportKa which is so manly my other half calls them SportKamps.

The new one isn't much better with it's bug-eyed tail lights.

Yeah, and your point? Oh unless you're referring to the "it's a Golf it's a box with wheels" line of thinking.  :rolleyes:

In the end I gave up.  I thought I had bought class but it was just too miserable to reverse that fat bum out of the garage.
