• Hyundai I 20 - Hyundai I 20 21 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  However, the I 20 carries on the good work of the Getz with the same warranty and masses of kit for reasonable money, but one I had as a courtesy car this summer and it seemed far more modern and better made than the Getz, in fact nearly on par with a Volkswagen. Also even in 1.2 litre form it was quiet and returned 48 mpg. I have nearly been swayed by Dacia, see another post, but seemingly for all they are excellent value for money, the technology is old and it's likely to make up for the price of such a cheap car, I could get a poor trade in.

• VW dealer - great service!! 24 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  I just thought I'd post about some good news relating to a main dealer, and a VW dealer at that. Dealer: Listers Volkswagen, Evesham, Worcestershire I had my Passat 2.0 TDi (PD) serviced there today. In addition to the service I asked them to change the cambelt and tensioner, check brakes (noisy) and check f/n/s door hinge mechanism as it was clicking a bit on opening/closing.

• Import Myth... 4 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  The buyer was aware that the car was an import and they couldn't care less anyway: it was the spec and full VW history that was important to them. So I would like to extend a warm 'Thank You' to Volkswagen UK for distorting the price of thier UK-supplied cars to the benefit of those who imported them from the continent.
