New car for gordy time , help please

[Gordy]

I've had two vauxhalls before and I wouldnt touch them with a long long barge pole

[Howard]

Why not?

[Gordy]

God awful cars the two I had, put me off them for life, they are cheap for a reason

[5cupa]

in almost exactly the same situation as you. as the saxo just dosent have enough headroom when i want to sit up straight....will keep an eye on this thread

[Gordy]

Aye I bang my head if I sit up straight

[Vimeous]

No insults Zak, you're right. However it seems you're destined to suffered past failed experiences for a while yet. Sad state of affairs.

seems so, huh

[[GSV]Trig]

Aye past experiences put everyone off, I've been out with a few girls and they've all left me battered and bruised, all women are evil and I'm going to be a monk from now on....

Just got back from test driving a polo gti and it was a great little car, the only problem was it wasn't as good a spec car as the pugs I've seen, I think I will hold out for a good pug

The polo had a great engine and nice braking

[Vimeous]

Same engine in the Lupo.....

[Gordy]

Aye thats one of the drawbacks of the car that it should really be a 2.0 litre engine not a 1.6

That and the seats look very cheap, I've got better ones on my old saxo, in fact nearly every car I've owned has had better seats.

jeez... im gonna have to go and look at these Polo's to see whats wrong with the seats.... Noway can they be as bad as a Paxo!

[Gordy]

Well, they were awful material, with stoopid ghey graphics on and had absolutly no support on the sides. They let the entire rest of the interior down makes it look cheap

I will tel you now...Fiat are STILL badly put together. Inspired cars? yup...pretty even...yup.

But engineering on stuff like dash, trim, plastics etc....truly still one of the worst. Stilo's, Punto's, Multiplas...have driven and part exchanged lots of them....they really still are not up to the job

And Alfa's are sadly potentially just as bad

[Gordy]

Thats the italians for ya ! Why is only a few nations seem to be able to build a car properly (Eg Germans/Japanese)
