I've yet to see any car that's reliable. Mine hasn't had a single failure in 12 years. Why, in the 21st century, can't we make anything that just keeps working? They have with mine. Corse its not a european steaming turd with wheels. Are you talking about your Golf? Nope, the Getz that replaced it. Did you suddenly feel the need to drive at precisely the speed limit when you bought it? Nope. In fact its so light with such a decent engine that I was hooning along at well over 140K Km on the way back from an airshow in Temora on the first trip out of town in the new car. That's exceeding the 100K speed limit by the level at which the cops can seize the car instead of just fining you. Ours is about 30mph over. Which I guess is similar. But it's not just seizing the car, your license gets removed, because the ****wits think driving fast means you're dangerous. The cop had the decency to list it at just under 140K and just slug me the ****ing great fine. Less paperwork. I chose to front the magistrate instead of paying the fine and pointed out that that was on a straight stretch of flat road, not even any trees on the side of the road for more than 10KM with no other cars in sight until the cop car showed up coming in the other direction, presumably at 100K. Driving into the setting sun, and lied to the magistrate that it was the first time in the new car and I didn't notice it was going that fast. He let me off. Bloody hell. Try that here and get double the fine, they bribe you by letting you have less problems if you plead guilty. All the Hyundai drivers here do. Don't believe that either Anyone owning a Hyundai is an OCD ****wit or an OAP. Usually i10, i20, etc her. and you previously claimed that everyone there drives at 10-15K over the speed limit. Every normal person. Even you should be able to do better than that pathetic excuse for a troll. Obviously not. Always in my ****ing way! I had to replace things on my Golf. I didn't have to replace much, just the alternator regulator and the exhaust silencer, once. Actually I gave up on mine because of the large amount of rust underneath to pass the ****ing government nanny state MOT. I did too, but that was my stupidity. I don't garage or carport my cars and knew that the Golf passengers floor got wet after heavy rain due to the windscreen seal and had never got around to redoing the windscreen seal. That eventually did rust thru the floor. No rust on the outside tho. My garage is for storing things, I don't have room indoors for a car. Maybe less than with some cars, but I still needed replacement suspension parts etc. I didn't replace any of those and I used that Golf for much longer than you did, 45 years in fact and used it every day to go to and from work too. Are your roads littered with speed bumps? Yep. I go over perhaps 200 a day. Nothing like as many here. Not littered then. Here, they're even stupid enough to put them in places where you couldn't possibly be breaking the limit, like literally 10 feet from a junction. I did have to replace one of the giant rubber things that the exhaust system hangs on. I've found exhausts on all makes of cars to be similar. Stupidly made out of rustable metals. That's why I replaced it with a stainless steel one. Since I buy cars for £500, I tend to replace an exhaust only once, so pointless me getting a longer lasting one. They should be manufactured with them though, especially those with a 7 year warranty. Although I guess they scam you on that and omit the exhaust from the warranty. Havent had to do anything with the Getz one. Forget how many years or km it was with the Golf but the use is quite different with the Getz with not so much chance for it to get really hot to burn off the condensed exhaust gases overnight. |

They are said not to cope with low speeds particularly well where the preselection can be indecisive. Non-European markets don't like the abrupt shifts. They have been the subject of warranty claims and law suits. Ford recently dropped "Power****" and went back to a conventional auto. PSA stayed with proper Japanese boxes all along without putting themselves through the same learning process and it seems some brands have quietly dropped auto completely from some models where second hand cars with the box can be found in Autotrader. |
