I love my 118 and it is hell fun to drive and makes me smile 99% of the time but yes it has had its issues.
Last being the excessive consumption of oil - when I mentioned to the dealership it got towed too (not my usual one) that for a new car I wasn't exactly happy with all the problems so far. She said the waterpump and clutch pack replacement were normal and that they were doing them on a daily basis and to be expected but that the oil issue was something to worry about.

I really didn't expect my car to be at the dealership as much as it has or that I would be paranoid enough to carry oil with me - hell that was something I did with my first car that was an old POS.. mind you it never actually needed the oil.

More recently the guys at euro elite simply told me to sell it and buy a GTI if I wanted a trully tried and tested car with no issues :/

That said I will extend the warranty and keep the car because it does make me smile
