2005 Volkswagen Golf Comfortline 2.0 TDI turbo diesel

Summary:

Engine and gearbox are an unbelievable match, but pity about the quality

Faults:

Water leak next to left hand sun visor.

Metal trim around the gear stick came off, exposing a very sharp aluminium sheet.

Pain peeling from the steering wheel.

Bubbles on plastic sheet for the gear stick plate.

Front windows don't auto close when the switch is clicked one.

Screen holding the plastic cover on the under tray came off.

Back cupholder mechanism disintegrated totally.

Airbag indicator lights up when there's nothing wrong with it.

General Comments:

The engine is great, and mates wonderfully to the DSG.

The car has plenty of torque and is responsive.

I am very disappointed with the quality of the materials used.

Car dealer service is very expensive.
