The gearbox noise isatrocious. The constant sound of a bicycle chain rattling at all speeds shouldn't be happening in a new car, I don't care if VW do say it's 'normal'.
Now at motorway speeds, there is a whistle/high pitched noise which I initially thought was induction but now think is also gearbox related. Anyone else got this? Seems to happen between 65-75 mph.
Economy no where near as good as claimed. But still pretty good
The handling seems to have gone 'off'. Not as precise and seems to crash over bumps where previously it floated. Seems pretty leany and rolly, tyre pressures are fine.
Brake noise. Was quite a loud scrapping sound at one point when going around a roundabout. Occasional scraping sound when braking. I wonder if the brakes are sticking slightly which would explain the noise, economy and handling/ride being not as good as it was?
Overall we like the car, but for a product you pay a premium for (VW) I honestly don't think it's as good as a Suzuki Alto which is far cheaper...
