    Scooby's - Fast in a straight line but crap on the twisties!

    Audi's - Fit and finish of the highest standard, Ha! My last Audi was the most troublesome car I've ever owned 14 faults including 3 breakdowns in 12 months. Audi ended up giving us £700 and extending the warranty by 2 years as an apology. The 1.8 turbo TT recorded the highest percentage of breakdowns in the first 12 months of ownership, by any car ever!!!!
    Personally I wouldn't touch that 1.8 turbo engine with a barge pole.

    I agree BDM. Previous car was the Golf (150bhp)1.8T & after 25K it needed a new turbo !!:mad:
    Prior to this however the engine was ace , & as mentioned companies like Awesome GTi offer tuning upgrades via the cruise control that looked fab. Aparently one click & you were up to 180bhp then two clicks & your up to 225bhp & all this for about 600 quid !
    Turbo MINI here we come

    One of my colleagues has a golf 2l gti and is fair scunnered with it. This is her second in as many months and like its predecessor is forever in the garage for a miriad of faults. The interior is also pretty boring.

    Dear Lord, If you wont make me skinny, please make my friends fat-very Fat.
