lightning_strike Member 78 Member For: 19y 7m 24d Posted 12/01/06 02:46 AM Share Posted 12/01/06 02:46 AM Heya peoples. Just curious what minor quality issues irritate you with your car. On my BA mark 2:- fit of quarter panels. Panel gaps are uneven and inconsistent- rubber seals on back door come off- plastic covers over front seat mounts come off (ended up driving over one)- intercooler pipe not fastened tight enough. But makes cool BOV noise when it does come off (every cloud I guess)- metallic paint looks dodgey up close on plastic bumpersI wonder if any have been addressed on the BFs?

The interior plastic trim on the driver's a-pillar doesn't fit properly and sags a little.The mirror is too low on the windscreen due to the shape of the roof.The velcro fitting for the interior boot release cable won't stick to the interior of the bootlid.I can't actually see the DSC light on the dashboard due to the steering wheel rim blocking it - I couldn't see this on the Territory either... maybe it should be more central as apparently my passengers see it coming on a lot when I'm pedalling hard.

If you get into a car of quality build you wont get interior panels that dont match up properly, panels that stick out or flex too much. It has to be said that the build quality of these cars is sh*thouse! It just shows when u look at the interior, and when you hear about how many warranty issues there are with mechanics!!I would hate to see how my car goes after 20 years...But for me...Interior plastic bits not matching upRear bumper not quite aligned with metal parts of carfront bumper saggingclicking in the steeringFRONT CAMBER!!!

But close to 50 odd grand of car should get you some decent quality. I f cking cringe every time I see the panel gaps.

I've also noticed that the seat-belt is rubbing on the plastic where you can adjust the hight... It's worn it down heaps.All I want is a water tight boot. Is that too much to ask?
