SO, which one irritates you ?

I get irritated when it goes in for a service and i end up with a polo or an automatic diesel passat for the day

I kinda like getting sh*t cars for the day as it makes you appreciate what you have a bit more!

I get lots of hire cars through work and they're always really cr@p and I love getting back in my A3 (soon to be GTI)

You have to admit tho', nothing is as fast or handles like a hire/courtesy car...

Scott, I couldn't agree more. Getting a low spec Polo, or if you're really unlucky, a Fox   as a courtesy car does make you appreciate your own car more.

Always enjoy getting back in my car!

That little storage compartment to the right and just below the steering wheel. Every time I use it i seem to manage not to close it properly. When I step out the car I always scrape my shin bone on the corner of the cheapo door of the compartment and turn the air blue with rage!  :embarassed:  I've lost count of the number of times I've done this and used to do it on my mk5 GTI all the time as as well.  It's damn sore.

Cheap plastics and more rattles than Mothercare annoy me the most about this car. And that flat back gets filthy in 100yds of driving on a damp day

i wish i hadnt started this topic  i am now finding things i was blissfully unaware of 

last night i decided i didnt like the rotary knobs that adjust the dash illumination brightness and the
headlight levels. Do they actually turn, they are the most unsatisfying dials (and too close togeather) ever 

but i still cant help loooovin it !

I'm the same. At the end of the day every car will have little niggles that we don't like. But the benefits of the GTI far outweigh the niggles as far as I'm concerned.

Every time I drive it I can't help but think how good an overall package it is.

Oh flip, i cant stop now, this isnt directly about the car BUT
i cannot stand the way some adverts are done.

WHY WHY WHY do dealers adverts insist on placing things in the description that CLEARLY
are nothing to do with anything other than trying to make a list look longer:-
http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201206448777637/sort/pricedesc/usedcars/body-type/hatchback/price-from/20000/fuel-type/petrol/maximum-age/up_to_3_years_old/model/golf/make/volkswagen/postcode/ip113ss/page/2/radius/200?logcode=p

I MEAN, rev counter FFS, walk into any dealers and say, good afternoon, can I place an order for a lovely £38k golf R
BUT
can i have it without a rev counter, power steering, cup holder,  please its just plain irritating and i am  breath deeply, soz guys.
