Re: Going to the darkside- Maybe

Thanks Ryan and James for the support.

If VW Canada does buy back my car I will get a Honda with hopefully less headaches.

Re: Going to the darkside- Maybe

You betcha Not VW delivered me for sure.

Ok my check list
Must be safe - IE: Air Bags,
Repair bills not through the roof for regular scheduled maintence and oil changes etc...
Good Gas Mileage- A must
nice stero a + but not required.
Remote entry and automatic locks (If I can have an remote starter installed
an added bonus too.
Comfortable Seating for me at 5'2 and if Hubby was to drive it he is 6'0.
price until 25K
Good in the SNOW a MUST!
Extra Tire not the DUMB Donut!

Think that is all.

Are there any cars that meet those requirements?

Re: Going to the darkside- Maybe

My car would have met those

Air bags front whatever
Reasonable repair bills
I get about 640 kms to a 30 dollar fill (Well like 40 now)
Remote entry
I am 6'4ish my mom drives it at 5'
Cost me just over 21k
Full size spare

AC also

No major problems at all

Yes my VW Only my Golf is a LEMON it feels like and i'm so tired of the time and energy I have been putting out to deal with this issues and VW to understand.

My stereo has a CRACK in the top half of it under the cup holder VW Canada said I did it which I didn't and they said if I want it fixed it will cost me a WHOOPING $400.00 just for the part!

See my pictures Oh I should take one for the door handle looks like witout its cover which is bugging me Can't fix until Friday at Dealership.

Peeling door handle

[Cordialtea]

Re: Going to the darkside- Maybe

Ok Here's my list of Warranty Work:

1)Foam running rails twice

2)Door seals - twice

3)mirror housing

4) Rear windshield wiper hosing.

5) rubber around VW symbol on trunk cracked allowed water into trunk Replaced that.

6)Temperature sensor on Engine - Gas tank would hit have a tank of gas and service engine light would come on and stay on.

7)Dash where gages are speed etc... a small piece broke off and was floating around in sealed unit.

8)Sidemarker drivers - blinker - water condesation inside- Seal toast - replaced

9)Ground Wire on Engine Coil

10) heated Seat recall x 2

11) ground wire in light above rear view mirror messed up caused buzzing noise - cleaned ground wire for this.

12) Peeling door handles

13) Cracked Stereo

14) Ding in dashplate dressing dealership did but refuses to replace it

15) rear headrest pin jammed on passenger side couldn't remove the headrest.

Those are the ones just off the top of my head - I have 22 pages of Warranty Work in 2 years don't tell me it is just bugs that need to be worked out. This car keeps getting new issues cropping up every 3-6 months and I am so tired of it.

The dealerships haven't been helpful in BC or here and I'm getting tired of the time they waste by having me come in only to say we don't have all the parts here come back NEXT WEEK!

BTW - My car doesn't have a blockheater/ PAN HEATER and I'm afraid the dealership will screw that up and I'll have even more problems.

Does this explain things even more?

Re: Going to the darkside- Maybe

I would say Echo RS, auto trans, ac, almost everything you need. Wicked little car. When VW starts getting smart on design for longevity of a product I will go back to driving one.
