Door carriers leaking.
Creaking drivers seat.
This is a quick car.
Torque is out of this world.
Reliability is even better.
The only downside to this car that I have found has been when traveling in its sister car, the VW Polo; the build quality is not as good as the VW, this becomes apparent when hitting a speed bump etc.
I haven't had any real issues other than mentioned above.
I can't wait for the mk 2 VRS to come out.
'the build quality is not as good as the VW, this becomes apparent when hitting a speed bump etc.'
That's nothing to do with build quality, it just has harder suspension and lower profile tyres.
As for the MK2 VRS... it's not going to happen!
Mk2 VRS due October 2009.
