Mate i dont know rocket but dam man you have some nerve accusing someone that they are abusing there car. (that is unless you know them) I dont think he was asking why these things happen just letting everyone know that they did. If my car did this in 7 months no matter how much use it gets its pretty slack.

Its so true, cupholders are terrible and one of the times mine got replaced they also scratched the front facia, its not very impressive. IMHO they're badly designed.

Oh and to top it all off, must have had a stone flick up into my front right foggy today, cos while washing the car tonight, noticed its now cracked to buggery. Damn.

Polo GTI's are made in Spain, but the standard Polo's may be made in Seth effrica.

The days of Monday morning/Friday afternoon cars should be well and truly over. Quality control and computer management in modern car factories should negate the human factor to a near-nil rating so I'm at a loss to explain the differences in cars sitting side by side, made in the same factory (no matter where), but differing in their apparent build quality. Perhaps the tolerance limits of different owners are a factor? Before the Golf TDI I've only ever owned one car that was approaching being new (3yo at the time with 80,000km) so compared to what I usually drive the TDI is like a space ship and perhaps I don't notice rattles, squeaks, knocks because I'm used to them
So next time I drive her (if my mrs will let me anywhere near) I'll listen very carefully. Nothing's broken yet @ 11,000km
Oh and guys....This thread is getting a little personal in places so don't forget thet you're in a no-putdown zone.

I agree that the front facia cupholder is terrible. So much so, I never use it and if I were to have a cup to put somewhere, I'd use the one of the two in the centre console.
Mate of mine was in the car, and absently opened the cupholder (cue hopefully hidden cringing from the driver's seat). The two outer "springs" that are meant to hold the cup in place kind of intermeshed (for want of a better word) and the cupholder jammed on the way in. Given that you can't get it back out when it's halfway in, it took a bit of fiddling to return the cupholder in place.

Shopping trolley Polos are made in South Africa so dont reckon they would fair much better...
Rather have my car made in Europe than Africa any day...[/QUOTE]
i think the standard of build in south africa are ok, since most bmw's and benz's are made in south africa.
