what do you hate about it hamish?

car stuff:

trying to find spark plugs with the thin thread style plug... NGK used to be able to unscrew the tip of the contact, but not anymore.

Martin: do you want a whole bunch of BKR8E's I bought and no longer can use?

what do you hate about it hamish?

Without thinking too hard about it:

Lack of throttle response

Lack of transmission response

Engine note

Lag

Heavy, horrible steering feel

No road feel

Hard, uncomfortable seats

Headrest permanently angled forwards

Lack of features

Streaming audio option disabled

Key flick thingy opens too easily

Indicators on the german side

Plain, ugly dash

Terrible driving position

Transmission in general

VW sales people

Ability to be locked inside car

Obvious planned obsolescence

The vibe

I assume by this you mean the left hand side...

I drove a workmates new civic the other day... Go to turn out of work and of course the windscreen wipers go. So I said "WTF, this is a japanese car, not european" and she said "Apparently it's the european model that we got here". I said, "but... but... it's Japanese"

Cup holders don't fit glass jars/milk bottles

Actually they do... it's the cars best feature. There are 2 cup holders and the little bit in the middle slides back and forward to alter the size. It also doubles as a bottle opener

Would you like to go to the European site?"

So you bought the car sight unseen?

So you bought something which is quite expensive, arguably well overpriced based on your above review, totally dissatisfying to own and which will continue to depreciate in value.

Conversely, my red independence days are comfortable, fit well, I like the look of them, as do most other people, and only seem to be appreciating in value.

Please tell me again how I'm a douchebag for buying my shoes
