Love/hate

[bulk66]

Right every one we know how much we all love our vdubs or we wouldn't be hear would we well i just want to know what things about your vws you hate, things like if you don't like the hand break leaver on your mk3 or you don't like the way the seat mechanism works on your mk2 that kind of thing or maybe you have had a car that really made you blood boil i want to hear about it.

Ill start you off, a few years ago now i wanted a cheap run around and stumbled across my first vw a white mk2 1.3 F reg i payed £750 it was taxed & tested and really i should not of expected a lot from this car. I went against the first rule of car buying and let my heart rule my head and brought it, I had big plans you see wheels etc. I'm not going to go into detail because you will fall asleep before you read all i have to type but ill cut a long story short I ended up hating this car with every fiber of my being. Absolutely every thing went wrong with this car it leaked water inside, outside it leaked oil nothing worked etc etc. In the end i sold it got another and have loved every other vw Ive owned and Ive always checked cars properly before i parted with my cash ...

I hate the fact that i want more and more power out of my golf but cant afford a vr6 engine in it let laone the insurance.

After driving my mums corsa i have nothing to complain about in my golf.

I hate the stupid abs on my dub, wish i never had it, its to expensive.....oh and also the handling .......love the looks of my car though mk3z are  lookin.

I hate vw gearboxes and clutches......Why are vw gearboxes so complex....full of little ratchet's that split and cause all sort's of fun and vw clutches!!!! the one's that are backword...where the flywheel goes on the outside...I will never attempt to change one again

But i do love my vw build quality....how many car's feel as well made as a vw...

Hate List (especially MK2 & Corrado)
1.Crappy door handles - easy to fix I know but I could open my own museum of knackered ones!
2.Leaky door seals/sun roof/door cars etc...I think every VW I've owned comes with a free pool in rear footwell
3.Dodgy headlights in general  (including self detonating heading switches and by being 0.5 candle power)
4.Gti seat bolsters are S**t!
5. not having the cash to  fit a 16v turbo/G60

Love List (oh..er missus)
1.Handling
2.Looks
3.Cool VW forums  - don't want to generalize but if you look up other car make forums they're generally full of cack
4.Awesome build quality - with golfs it seems older the better (from MK3 backwards!!!)
5.Decent engines
6 Gearboxes -(I agree they are cack to repair) especially the on Corrado G60 & Mk 2 16v - the gear ratios are excellent - much better than my crappy beemer one

I hate the fact that my golf is very high maintenance, as soon as I wana start saving for something my car decides it wants that money for itself! Something seems to go wrong before I need to take a long journey too. So I hate that it takes so much money lol I think I got the Friday afternoon model golf 

[Neaty]

i hate that mine still isnt on the road yet!!! either of them!

i just hate the way people dismiss it as an old car, thats the only thing that bothered me

I hate the fact that no matter how nice you get you're golf looking you will always be classed as a "boy racer" 

[bulk66]
