So come on, what really bugs you about your beloved Scooby? After 10 months of ownership I have to say the worst thing is...........

trying to get petrol in the damn thing without the pump cutting out!

I suppose the second most irritating thing is using it all in one night out with the South Manchester and South Yorkshire contingement!

Come on....... what rattles your cage?????

Fuel tank size is OK - it's just the rate at which it uses the bl**dy stuff that gets me....

And the clutch judder in reverse when it's cold.

And the crap dash plastics, thin bodywork panels, lack of low rev torque, the understeer(!).

Oh, and that fifth is too high geared to pull effectively on UK motorways.

But otherwise, I love it!!!!

Glad you can maintain your sense of humour in what must be a hideous scenario.

For me the worst thing is the vandalism I experienced before getting a garage... plus kids staring and saying inane **** like "sweeet car bruv, show us a doughnut"

"trying to get petrol in the damn thing without the pump cutting out!"

Try twisting the nozzle so it bends towards the back of the car not down, that sorts it with mine.

Worst thing has got to be being gentle with it until it's warmed up, which takes all of the way to work and about half the way home!

Mines is a wagon, so the worst thing about mines has got to be the annoying rattle i'm getting from the plastic trim around the side rear window.

Oh...and the heatshield !

Has to be the fact that other road users nigh on hate you.

You only have to accelerate swiftly and it's deemed the equivalent of mugging old ladies.

Even when you drive slowly you'll have done something wrong in their eyes.

Had the same with the Cossie too.

Most annoying thing I find is no matter how much I spend on mods there is always something else I want for it. The mods go on... and on... and on until the money runs out, Infact if someone was kind enough to donate 100k purley for modifications, that I would find it easy to spend.

any offers
