Drivers door window creaks a lot when slightly open - booked in when headlight is also swapped Had EML light on a couple of months ago - new 02 sensor fitted Drivers door out of alignment at bottom - guess i'll live with that I had a 125 model last year, done 2500 miles and that had both headlight replaced under warranty as both had snapped fixings Not exactly the greatest built cars and not 100% fault free but i can't think of any late model car that is these days? Well yet again this morning the engine warning light has come on and it feels like there's no turbo 😒 getting peed off with this thing.....................................

Mine is 13 months old and at around 12,500 miles - apart from my few moans about interior quality, the car is doing very well. Good to drive and very refined especially on a motorway for a small car. MPG isn’t anything to jump about - around 38-39 in mine which is a 140ps, better than my old car at around 34 and I tend to go by if it’s better than last then it’s good enough but it would have been nice to see 40 mpg plus on the daily routine. Will probably bluefin in the next 12-18 months to breathe some new excitement into the car to stop me from swapping to something else.

The car is quiet enough at 70-80mph, fairly comfortable too and the seats do a good job. Did actually do a trip through Europe in the car and it did a brilliant job, at no point was I exhausted due to the car being uncomfortable or just unpleasant to be in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG97 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Oh and adaptive cruise is a highly recommended option, have it on mine and it contributes to the overall motorway refinement greatly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints, the 140ps really does what you want it to do, for example a 50 to 70mph acceleration is fine and the car doesn’t feel as if it lacks power. Even in 6th gear at 60mph+ it is rare that you’ll have to change down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavroz Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 7 hours ago, __md__ said: with the x i take it the differances are the leather seats? compared to the standard Part leather seats, folding mirrors, autodip headlights, privacy glass, armrest, bigger screen, heater controls, autodip rear view mirror, reversing camera, parking sensors (last may be an option) to name a few off of the top of my head, probably missed several more. There are a lot of differences between the X and none X and in my opinion a massive difference between the mk7.5 and mk8 X model. Edit, sorry most of this has been answered now. Don't think there is much if any difference between the standard and X st.line in the way of engine and power, it is all the little extras and refinements it offers. Well worth the bit of extra cost or negotiating from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonson Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 14 hours ago, __md__ said: hows it been for you so far mate? In general very pleased. Great fun to drive (feels like it's getting stronger still at over 20k miles) and getting an average of 48mpg on my long commute. Have had 52mpg out of it. The tech is really good and actually works, much to my surprise. Only downsides are interior build quality. There's a bad tizz from the passenger door panel that needs looking at, and few other low level creaks/rattles/vibrations that have developed over time.

Bobr Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Mines just coming up to 40k and is as sweet as a nut. Returning about 45 mpg at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car itself is great, no issues with anything mechanical so far... touch wood. Last summer I had issues with my passenger side window not going back up, basically the window motors are made of plastic and the internal gears had warped in the heat. However, I believe that has been fixed now. I also had some rattle coming from the dash, but the dealership sorted that out pretty quick.

I have loved the car apart from at 30500 miles the entire gearbox failed which was very annoying because it just dropped out of warranty.
