Headlamp and rear bulbs would blow on a monthly basis, replaced countless times.
Gears difficult to engage, went back to dealer several times and had many things replaced, but never cured.
Used lots of oil, but reason never found, dealer just suggested we checked it on a weekly basis and topped it up.
Remote Alarm System went crazy and cost £350 to repair.
Airbag safety restraint system warning light came on throughout ownership. Dealer ended up disconnecting bulb as only solution.
Brake judder.
Windscreen washers failed on both windscreen and boot. Dealer fixed them.
Boot lock broke. Never fixed (cost too much!)
First service I had came to £1200 including the various bits they "had" to fix. Most expensive service I've EVER seen.
On the plus side, the car always FELT strong, I always felt that I could have crashed into anything and been OK.
But it was very dull to drive.
Always liked the look of them from the outside though, and the dash had a nice quality feel.
Seats OK, but lacked support.
The big thing is
you don't know how well looked after the car
was in the 40,000 miles before you bought it
I would never buy a second hand car
for that reason!!!
No luck bet you wished you bought a skoda!!
