Left front door is squeaking.
Radio reception isn't as good as it is used to.
Generally, the car is a good hatchback.
It is comfortable, fast, unique, well built and somewhat entertaining. It is also has enough luxury for a hatch.
However, its doesn't have the best gearbox in the world, as the gearbox is far from smooth and refinement.
The steering isn't very good also, it's uninspiring and undeniably tiring, especially when parking and cornering.
The car also has problems with the rear view mirrors as it is slightly too wide.
But, other than that, I'm very satisfied with the car. Mainly, because of its practicality, performance, comfort, reliability, and its Volkswagen badge. Maybe it is not the best hot hatch in the world, but it surely is a good one.
Is the gearbox really that bad?
I'm also in Indonesia and I'm currently very happy with my 1.8T GTI... it is just like you said, fast, unique and entertaining.
