A car change question

Feb 14, 2005 7 Replies

Hi all,



After a long time I have decided to leave the Skoda fold after many years, Starting with a 120L5 G reg, then a fav est glxi(L reg), onto a 1.3glxi felicia and co-running a white Rap Cab(K) and onto a octavia.



I feel that vw quality is lacking, after my gearbox breaking, imob issues, power window broke and other stuff.



Moving to a citroen c2.



No1 seems to fault thems.


The message from "Neil" contains these words:

I give it a month before something breaks.

Is that the ones that the dashboard falls apart on?

As long as that?

I reckon something will fall off the interior the day he takes it home, and that's being optimistic.

SteveH ( snipped-for-privacy@italiancar.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Only car I've had that's had bits fall off *immediately* was a just-under-

3yo mk3 Golf GTi. Got in it, opened the sunroof, the switch fell off...

Heh.

I usually get stuff falling off in the showrooms. I provoke it at times, mind.

The message from snipped-for-privacy@italiancar.co.uk (SteveH) contains these words:

I've never been in a car showroom.

Not as a customer, anyway - I prefer my cars ready-rubbed.

It's French. Something will fall off. Anooying, but not desperately serious things will go wrong like windows not winding, the odd switch not working. It will probably never be immobilised in my experience of French cars unless you do something dumb yourself and doubtless the engine will run and run and run.............
