What have you noticed? these are the things I have noticed...
1. Wing mirrors don't fold out. (say once a month/bi monthly)

Oh yes, my favourite glitch of all. Mine always chooses the least opportune moment - like when I need to reverse into a space quickly with a herd of London cabs all trying to shove past me.

The problem is that it's never repeatable, I've looked for a pattern to replicate it for the garage but alas...

Thats pretty much the same with every car I've ever owned though!
It always amazes me that my current golf drops off full within about 10 miles - but is much more linear on its way down rather than staying full for the first 50+ miles!

Mines the opposite. First 50miles or so it doesn't move. Then the next 150 miles tales it steadily down to half a tank.

I did at one point think there may be lots of juice left in there as it gets into reserve.. But lots of spluttering and having to coast into the petrol station soon put that theory to rest :-(

Talking of which Microsoft and Volkswagen team up for in-car file storage. Lets hope they have an inbuilt system restore?

I have managed 20miles with "0 miles left to go" on the computer   :shocked:

It still only took 52 litres so there must have been some left  :laugh:

Well before I filled up last time I thought I need some petrol for the lawn mower at the same time so I want back home for the petrol can. Just before I stopped it said 25 miles left, I got the can and started up and it said 5 miles left. How can it loose 20 miles sitting in the drive? The petrol station is 4 miles away so I set off I hadn't done 300 yards up the road and it shows 0 miles so I carried on. I tanked it at the fuel station and I could only get 54 litres in so I assume I had 1 litre left.
