Coil Pack failed which also took out the ignition amplifier, car run on three cylinders and felt like a bag of spanners, fortunatly a well documented failure and parts where cheap, plentiful and easy to change.
Gear linkage adjuster snapped and left me with 3 & 4 gear only, cheap bit of plastic and an hours labour fixed it.
Interior rattles a bit.
I find the golf a refined quick motor with plenty of mid range omph.
However it's just far too boring to have the GTI badge.
Don't get me wrong it's a cracking car, but just lacking in that top end zing and crisp handling that the best hot hatches enjoy.
You say the zing etc the best hot hatches enjoy what is better all rounder than this people are hard to please.

Hot hatches aren't meant to be 'all rounders', they're meant to be fast & fun to drive, so if it doesn't have these qualities in his opinion then he's a right to be disappointed.
