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

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

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
