Approaching 12 months and 12k miles.

No problems at all.

Still amazed at how fast it is.

It is the perfect car. Simple as that.

Had mine a year now,
the only thing that it has been back to the dealer for is the creaking doors, a quick adjustment of the striker plates sorted that,

Neil, didn't want my strikers adjusting because I thought it would take the doors out of line with the bodywork [They are prefectly aligned at present] Can you notice any difference with the alignment of yours since it was done? You see, I have a small problem with one or two door creaks, but my dealer said they wanted the car for 3 days to check it out!  :shocked: Didn't want my car stripping down for what is after all a minor annoyance which I can live with, but if adjusting the strikers cures it without causing any misalignment with the bodywork I'll go for trying that.
Other than that I still look forward to driving my car every day.

The best car I have ever owned - she is the total package!  :smiley:

I've also noticed after nearly a year of ownership I've got a slight dent (on driver side), which I'm gutted as I wanted the bodywork to be perfect (doesn't include chips) for our 1st anniversary  :cry:

Hi Rick,
no problem with alignment on mine, perfectly aligned just as it went in, the clunking noise that i had is the striker plates,
The creaking noise that some are experiancing is the rubber door seals, just need some lube :rolleyes:  :grin:

Mine has one odd problem.  When using one key only (unfortunately the one I can actually find at the moment), the left wing mirror doesn't do that kerb-view thing properly, in reverse.  It changes its angle, but it doesn't let you see down to the kerb.  Works perfectly with the spare key, and I'd switch them if I knew where I left the spare....

13 months and nearly 13000 miles on it's still the best car I've ever owned. I echo all the other positive comments on this thread.

Had mine nearly a year now as well and now and absolutaly love it. Squeek in the back at the moment but apart from that no problems. Gained a few stone chips but not an unusual amount tbo based on millage.

I would definatly buy another GTI again...... when's the Mk7 out then?  :wink:

I live in constant fear though of kerbing my Monza's which has sent me on a mission of finding alternative winter wheels.......
