SO, which one irritates you ?

[pottinger]

Just thought this would be interesting :-

List what is irritating about your Mk6 BUT you forgive cos its such a damn good car in all the other areas.

eg, for me (after 3 weeks ownership)

media in port looks like maplin add on

reflection of the chrome surrounds on left and right air vent reflect exactly where you wing mirrors are on the side window
(if you havent noticed this, you will from now on  soz)

The sterring column shroud plastic is  and marks from trying to get the key in the ignition so so so easily.

The cloth interior rear seats fur up like a cheap suit on the part people swing there legs in and over

No sill protectors as standard is stooooooopid (but that aint the cars fault)

come on peeps,

potts

Lack of sill protectors, rear cupholder seems to be quite fragile (or my rear passengers are particularly good at breaking it  ), lac of GTI seat inserts, fog light covers in front wheel arch seem to really dislike the car as they always disappear...

...oh and the stone guards for the brakes seem to pick up stones really easily. I suppose they are doing their job but they make a terrible screeching noise.

scuffing the door card when i get out of the car no matter how hard i try i always do it!!! it leaves that horrid white scuff line!

Some of the internal plastics are damn cheap and nasty, apparently even Ford have upped their game in this area so come on VW.  For a car costing as much as the mk6 I feel the plastics should be better.

Also some equipment that has to be specced as an option should be included ie folding mirrors, parking sensors, sunroof and rear view camera.

However I am not knocking the car as I love mine, it is all the car I ever wanted and makes me smile every time I drive it.

Hold the tip of your index finger just past the tip of the key blade when you are fumbling around trying to find the slot.

It's a good job Asker isn't here anymore, as I'm sure he'd have a predictable comment about my slot finding procedure.

The squeeky wipers. I've tried every cleaning solution / magic formula that's going and they still squeek!

I must be easy pleased as love the car. The only thing I would like is more power

+1, that is why I am going for the ED35. I always felt my ED30 was more fun and its down to the engine charateristic and power delivery.

Did you find it had that extra bit of poke ?
I’m going to order later in the year which just now looks like the Scirocco R. Would love the mark7 GTI but December will be the cut off date for ordering. Don’t want to lose too much on the GTI by holding onto it longer than necessary.
The Golf is a great practical car . however now it’s just me and the wife a Scirocco would be fine

  not sure about this but the rear view mirror is so very very straight edge rectangular,
rather than nice and curvaceous  

ditto on the foglight covers/caps in the wheelarches goin missing penguinGTI, the salesman (when i pointed this out to him) assured me
there wasnt ment to be any covers in there and they where all like that UNTILL i said why has this GTI next to it not got any holes there and clearly has caps ? maybe only white ones have the caps   he was suitably embarrased
