They used some krytox oil or similar the first time, solved it short term.
Cup holders broke the first time it was opened! When service replaced the mechanism, they scratched the front facia! NO MISUSE INVOLVED and i slightly take offence to that, because i know people who don't care about their cars and treat them like crap and still have no faults. I wouldn't let people lean against my paintwork for fear of scratching. This car has not been misused or thrashed!!!
GTI embossing did not catch, the embossing is too deep and has hardening the material too much and with every day stretching (when you sit on the seat) it has just started to rip apart at the bottom of the I.
Rattles, who knows??? All i know is that working in the automotive industry for a tier one supplier, rattles can kill a cars quality and reputation. There are whole teams on quality, squeak and rattle etc. Not acceptable.
I wish some of these issues were due to misuse and abuse, but unfortunately, i have not even had a chance to have any fun with the car. I must have been back to the dealer nearly 10 times since i have had it.
