Your favourite/least favourite VW car fad

Scene tax in general.
How stuck up the VW community is (this thread is showing that in places lol)
Rat look on anything watercooled
MK3 Golfs, sorry they're trash!
Terrible mpg in any petrol VW
The fact VW seem allergic to RWD

Like military themed cars like the matt green mk3 polo ran about few years ago.
Rare factory options

 

Did anyone see the black Bora owned by a member of PVW a year or two back? Had airbags and an absolutely reTARDed level of stretch and poke, looked like a dog squatting to take a dump. That's taking stance to silly levels.

 

Least favourite vw fad is...making any vw rusty on purpose, what a waste!

Most favourite vw fad is...'built not bought'

 

That is a bit harsh.

Admittedly they are currently in the Max Power phase of life but, there is a lot to like about a nice well looked after standard MK3. As we know the 8v is not going to set the world on fire but the 16v and VR6 ones worked towards fixing that problem.

 

Harsh but true. The 16v and VR6 are great donor cars for Mk2s.

Edition 38 showfield, 2009

 

I did say roof racks with random junk. If there use for appropriate reason(like the above) then I don't mind

 

It's all balanced on there - the car couldn't dare be moved! And as for the trivial water gun.... !!

 

I figured the water gun was for cooling off or filling the rad

 

Chris Eyre in `being scene` shocker!!

I always assumed you`d actually come from Curby with the rack loaded to cock a snoot at the scenesters!

 

i really dont like the "so euro my car has no performance increase whatsoever and cant get over the smallest of speedbumps look"
neither do i like rat look...

however the steam punk stuff as a one off show car has grown on me

i like OEM+ looks, how it should have came if money was no object with standard or standard type parts

 

Steam Punk? What is this new fangled fashion you speak of. I may be interested.

Cheers lewp91.
I have loads of shizzle in the shed I could whack on to my car to be "Steam Punk". But I am a bit of an ecowarrior these days, and not a fan of the heavy smoke output that hot rod was putting out.

 

Polos after the mk3, 99% of them have been ruined, owned by fck wits and/or driven badly

 

Show cages in cars with the rear seats still in - so its bad enough the cage is a fake, but you've lost the space in the rear to take passengers and just added weight to make your car slower Good times!

 

Mk3s are the best golf VW ever made...




















..without them our Mk2s would be rubbish

 

I dont like any wheels smaller than 15" or any wheels that stick out further than the arches. Small bumpers are ****e

 

I dont like (on mk2 golfs) smoothed tail gates, jetta front ends, colour coded plastics (arches, bumpers etc..), big pressed volkswagon sign on the back panel, DTM backbox, super expensive pop out rear windows, air brushing (or any modern paint schemes such as flip tone paints and what not), agree with the tiny steering wheels as well and wheels bigger than 15" (16" at a push).
