SO, which one irritates you ?

[gtdguy]

the one and only thing that annoys me about my GTD is the sunroof control is hard to see if the line onit is in closed position! it does not have a light and you have to lean right forward to see if what position it is in.

Rant over love my GTD!

After owning mk4,ed30 and now mk6

Cheap and nasty parcel shelf, wafer thin boot mat, the fact that you have to push fuel door to open (its fine when its girlfriend 10 year old polo but come on), and yes it needs far more power.

The Traffic Announcements (TP) on the RCD510. I can't find a volume setting that plays the traffic announcement at normal volume - it always seems to come in twice as loud as the radio or media.

I agree and one of the reasons I didnt specifiy a sunroof in the ED35. I think I have opened the roof a handful of times in the past 2.5 years because its easier to open a window. I like a sunroof more for the light it brings into the car and not bothered about it opening, if need fresh air I open a back window, so couldn't justify it this time, plus you can't order a sunroof if you specifiy the optional 19" Glendales, any one know why? This might be irritating for those that want both

It's all down to weight I think.

Nothing of great note annoys me, but just to pick up on one or two dislikes posted by others.


The reflection of the air vents in the mirrors - this is a very artistic feature in my view, I like it. If you don't look for it you don't see it.
The shape of the rear view mirror is superb, nice and chunky giving a great view behind.
There are NO marks around my ignition switch after 2 years - just be more careful.
Never had a cord break on the rear parcel shelf.
If I was being picky, I do get annoyed at the length of time it takes for water to stop running out of the door drains after washing.

Candle powered headlights.

Lack of standard equipment such as cruise control etc

Low power outputs vs weight / CC on standard GTD / GTI combined with "unusual" power delivery on the GTI when loaded up in a high gear at low revs.

The boot floor tiedowns need to be an inch lower as my boot net seems to hover above the boot floor.

I think it was a mistake to get rid of the cloth trim - why not bring the price down instead and give people the option of leather? (not that I'd have tartan seats but I can understand why people do  )

Bootlid fit is never right, I've never seen one that is perfectly straight.

More options that are available in other markets would be nice such as electric memory seats, garage door opener, pre heater etc

Quite incredible some of the moans on here.

Most of them would never even have crossed my mind.




Too easily pleased I suppose.
