know what you mean about the RX8,   very good fun  but hell they guts through some fuel and tyers,  and no one wants to buy them as some lucky people moan about needing a recon at 40k ,  more like 5 k round here
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

I did love my RX-8 and it was great fun.  I did double that mileage and it never got a recon so I ended up handing it back to the finance company and paying the shortfall.

I am sticking to my polo.  I have not had any of the problems people are saying and this is my 3rd one now.

Mind you I don't ever drive my cars hard....I can't even remember the last time I went over 60!!  It's a very sedate life indeed for my little car.  She may only go out twic a week in some months but others are non-stop.

I hope she doesn't come down with any issues as I can't afford a new car and I will refuse until the end of tim to get on a bus. For some reason they crash or reak down when I get on them.

As for the idle/fuel thing I have no idea what was done, all I know is that the revs used to be too low on idle and now they're fine, it used to stall under braking and now it doesn't and it used to go like a bat out of hell but couldnt get MPG I was meant to and now the car is slightly more sluggish but got metter MPG.  I can't be bothered to try and discuss with the idiot at te garage what he done, not because he doesn't know what he's doing but because he's a smug ***** and he's rude. 

Someone has already smacked him for being a total whoob. 

But hey who am I to complain, my car is happy, I am happy and the sun is shining....yay
Its a '96 Polo and its a GTI in my dreams...
Waking up corrects me, however I love her just as she is
