FLOL I thought it was. I like that RS what happened to the cool golf he had or was that yours?? was loud as f**k.
Golf was mine. He's only had s**tty fords and a Punto.
So this car is proving to be a complete money pit. A time and energy drain thats left me fed up and feeling ripped off today!
Firstly, the car has had a light knock on the front. Fair enough, i could tell when I bought it due to the history with the car. But they've used non OEM parts and it doesnt fit right when you get up close. This is forgetting the absolutely hideous spray job (Overspray, orange peeled to f**k, lacquer runs etc). The rest of the paint shows scratches so well, and the cats in my area just love to tapdance on the b*****d to make sure they do a good job! Not that it matters, the thing has swirl marks galore to accompany the holograms.
New problems? Well the 3rd brake light has gone. "Oh no" I hear you say, but its a £650 job at VW to replace. Yes, they direct the washer jet at it so it dies, then bond the spoiler down so you cant change it. And yes, it is an MOT Failure. Luckily there is a bodge job that involves smashing the old one out, but its still £75 in parts alone!
The bearing noise. I've been to 3 seperate mechanics that cannot diagnosed it. I've tried different tyres, new brakes, played with bearings and bushes. Nothing! And its so loud.
Speaking of brakes, did I mention one likes to stick on if you leave ESP on and go for a spirited drive? Thats fun coming back to find a wheel pouring smoke out.
Also, today I couldnt get in the boot. I had to climb through the car and all the crap in my boot like it was bloody Shawshank Redemption, to pull an emergency release. It now works, but I dont trust it for toffee! That reminds me, one of the rear lights has clouded glass too!
Rear bumper has been used as a chute to load stuff into the boot. That "Stuff" I can only assume is diamonds and sand.
BUT, and its a big but. On the right road, on the right day... its sublime. And I mean really sublime. Once you learn how to use its weight, it tucks into corners so well. Oh, and doesnt drink a load of fuel in the process.
