Sometimes I come across something so flawed, so blindingly stupid, that I mentally facepalm at the thought of someone signing it off as being acceptable.
The one that always bugs me with my current company ride (Seat Leon) is the bonnet release. It is on the passenger side, which is fair enough I guess. Cost cutting as most models are left hand drive but I can live with reaching over to get to it.... oh wait a sec. To pull the bonnet release the passenger door needs to be open.
So if you happen to park close to a wall on the passenger side, as I do every single day, you have no way of getting the bonnet open without moving the car. Or, to put it another way, if it was parked on my drive with a flat battery I'd be up poop creek without a paddle!
Please OCUK, give me your fundamental design flaws to make me slightly less annoyed with my Golf in a Flamenco dancers outfit.
