Nice car mate and enjoy it. There is no doubt that this is a much better car then the BA ever was and will be.
It is funny reading some of the one eyed feedback here. |

I guess I was lucky that my first car was a British Escort that had the stalk on the left. Only turned on the wipers that very first time. Funnily, it's been a little over a year since I got rid of the R32 and there are times I've had to pause then grab the correct stalk in the last two cars I've owned. I do miss the three flash on nudging the indicator stalk, though. |

The only thing I can say isn't to my liking is the dash. Our 2010 VW Caddy has exactly the same dash, I would have thought a more premiuim model may have had a different dash. Also how are you finding everything being backwards, i.e indicators on left, wiper on right, but you push them up to switch them on etc. I still get caught out on the Caddy.

I work for a VW dealer and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the product. I do however think that some of Fords european cars stack up very well against VW. Fiesta and polo are by far the two best small cars, with the mazda 2 coming in 3rd. Focus especially the XR5 is cheaper and performs just as well as a golf GTi. The only thing it's missing is the DSG gearbox.
Jetta/Passat are also brilliant cars, with both due for an upgrade within the next year. I do think that the mondeo has them covered for features, build quality and performance. When you look at the Passat R36, it's one brilliant bit of kit, but for 75k I would have a new supercharged GT-P. When you consider that VW are one of the best in their class in the world in about 4 classes, and you also factor in that Ford have a comparable vehicle in all of those classes which is just as good in almost every way, it makes me wonder why Ford's sales are slow. There's very soon to be a 5th class too, with the arrival if the VW amarok. It will be sure to give the ranger a run for it's money, and hopefully take sales away from the over rated navara and Hilux. |
