Polo rates worst in Drive return rate

[Babee J]

probably worth remembering that even the smallest of faults would be included in those statistics... therefore the number is probably a little lower than that.

I hope the Golf stats weren't so bad though... its not a nice thing to think about...

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.

Mate you are going to love me if this happens again.

To get the cupholder back out without having to push it all the way in and then release it again. If you look at the right hand side of the front face there is a little white button. Push that in and it will release it all the way to the fully open postion. Hope this helps.

no, this is front end knocking that is not due to stiffer suspension, vw have admitted its not normal but can't diagnose the cause. Rubber door seals never creak everytime you go over a bump, thats not normal, sounds horrible, and i don't want to have to vaseline my doors once a week. 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.

Fair enough Rocket, just thought I'd pose the question thats all, but you've made your point, the run you've had really sucks & its not good enough
