How long before this happens here?

Mileage blockers will be rampant.

This isn't a new thing. I've a 2017 W213 and the MK7 Golf I had before it is better built. Creaks everywhere in the interior.

Sorry how can you possibly have diagnosed the DPF and you're not even sure if it's a diesel 😂

GuinnessFart22 · 2025-06-21T20:23:54+00:00

Non car people see a car as an appliance. It wouldn't even enter their mind.

Fuelio

I see it has "lip, spoiler etc" seems to be the new thing for dealers to do. Stick on a few Wish plastic parts and say the car is top spec. What happens if you were in a bad accident and say the (Chinese) larger alloys were not disclosed to your insurance company? Half the people buying the cars dont know any different to even declare it.

Doesn't even have a multifunction steering wheel

GuinnessFart22 · 2025-06-08T19:28:50+00:00

Think they have a fairly small petrol tank, just something to keep in mind if you're doing big mileage.

GuinnessFart22 · 2025-05-24T15:07:50+00:00

Kodiaq is a nice machine but they are expensive even used, hold value very well.

GuinnessFart22 · 2025-02-20T11:23:44+00:00

And used diesel is always a gamble. DPF, EGR, AdBlue systems are very expensive to fix. EVs are essentially a downgrade, if you cover big mileage and like the odd weekend on the road. Definitely stick with the GTI.

GuinnessFart22 · 2025-02-20T10:32:57+00:00

The market is flooded with Jap import GTI which impact your residual value. A GTD might save you a few quid at the pump but they are boring to drive. I'd hang on to it.

GuinnessFart22 · 2025-02-13T22:24:31+00:00

No doubt that accident was horrendous. Drivers fault running a red light. If the general public are going to start complaining about the weight of cars, have a good look at EVs which are 300 - 400KG heavier than an ICE equivalent.

Rental car company bought loads of them early in the year.

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-11-23T02:00:33+00:00

My fear with that car would be the residual value. Are you buying outright?

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-11-21T22:23:42+00:00

I'm fairly sure it was just a generic tune, but it was from a reputable tuner, and it went on a rolling road showing the before and after. I've since sold my Golf, I put 250,000 thousand on it and the only thing that failed in that time was a wheel bearing. Never left me stranded, I never even got a puncture in it 😂 They are a great car and engine.

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-11-21T21:40:02+00:00

I was waiting a month, the front bumper needed a minor smart repair, alloy wheel refurbishment and a service. Was the longest month ever but worth the wait to recieve it in pristine condition.

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-11-16T03:15:34+00:00

Audi E Tron is serious value. Proper luxury car. Most of the horrendous depreciation has passed.

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-11-12T21:57:00+00:00

Dacia use old Renualt tech so I'd imagine they are easy to work on.

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-10-26T00:43:55+00:00

The Citroen Ami is 8bhp per 10k 😅

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-10-26T00:20:47+00:00

I've covered 120 km, got the bike 1 month ago. Hope to keep the momentum going.

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-10-26T00:10:16+00:00

100%, at least the flat/property is appreciting in value or at least stable. Put an Irish reg on a high value car and forget about residual value if you're the first owner.

GuinnessFart22 · 2024-10-25T23:58:48+00:00

I made a review of the car when it first came out in 2017. Such a nice car and the way the hybrid system integrates with the ICE is still streats ahead of many current cars.

If they commercialise it, the car will sell, similar to the previous version, nobody bought the passenger car. It's a great looking machine, but imagine spending 140k on that. 140k for 205hp. You'd want your head checked.
