VW Lupo. My car was in getting a repair done on the rear bumper, so I had to drive this for a few days.
Going up any sort of incline felt like a game of deal or no deal.. it was terrible, even by small/cheap car standards. The interior was also gash with lolBig dials and Fisher Price plastic everwhere.
*Shudder*

What appears to be perfect on paper often isn’t in reality.
Also proves that badge, interior quality, optional extras count for zilch.
The only things that really matter are ergonomics and physical size and practicality. (Running cost & reliability)
Try a gen 10 civic for great driving position.
My next car will probably be the new Berlingo and balls to the snobbery.
I will ride my motorbike if I want a bit of excitement, and I can achieve that without breaking the speed limit either.

The only car I had to get rid of was a 2009 Toyota Yaris.
I'm not exactly tall at 6ft but I could never get comfy in the drivers seat. It always felt like I was sat on the car rather than in it, and even with the seat all the way back I was struggling for room.

Nissan Qashqai late 2014 model. I needed a mid sized SUV and had a choice between a Mazda CX5 and a Nissan Qashqai. I stupidly chose the Qashqai because I found it marginally more modern inside, instead of going with all my instincts that the CX5 was an objectively superior car in every other way.
That thing just showed how abjectly poor Nissan quality control and build quality was, a trim part fell off the day I collected it. I had it for 16 months and it was back to the dealers 12 times and most of the times they just said "we aren't fixing it because there is no tech bulleting for that repair". The few times they did repair it the "fix" was pathetic. I had an airbox that started rattling two weeks into ownership and they fixed it by putting a cable tie onto it. They point blank refused to replace it with an actual new part as "it is to acceptable standards".
Now I despise Nissan and feel sorry for any mug stuck in one. I would rather take pubic transport than own a Nissan. (no that is not a typo
)
It was also the last time I ever trusted ANY car review site because so many of those ***** gave that pile of crap 4 or even 5 out of 5 stars. If you now look at user reviews of that car, real owners and give it 3 stars average compared to bought reviewes giving 4 or 5. That is a far better indication of a car than any review will ever give you.
