Trying to pull out of a junction very sedately. HDi engine picks up on the boost, and bang it's dragging me hedgewards.
Also felt very disconnected from the road (VERY nervous on Norfolk backroads) and had naff all in the way of brakes.
I just don't expect to have to reign in a car in carefree day to day driving. I refused to use it from there on it, stuck with a K plate skoda favourit (till I removed its sump crossing a field....oops).
It's just every time I've been in one it's not just come out as a bad car, it's come out as a terrible one. I mean, I've driven beatles and metros which don't stand up by modern standards, but they've got an excuse.
Still, never as bad as that ruddy GSi 150 I drove back from the pub (designated driver). Half hour of wishing it was a GTE.
