Their warranty policy seems to be very inconsistent and depend whether the person who assesses it is an arsehole or not... This is it, in a nutshell. Aside from straightforward mechanical failure, many local VAG dealerships in my area are averse to undertaking warranty work. This is especially true...

Doesn't that just demonstrate how useless the system is and that it's only there to mitigate poor driving habits? Not at all. It's a safety feature that could literally save your life if for whatever reason you lost consciousness whilst driving. If you drive well it doesn't interfere. Like seatbelt...

A month in I still don’t find the lane assist annoying. Like most modern safety features you can either allow it to irritate you, or accept it’s there in the background to assist if you ever need it. Oddly my 2023 fiesta ST defaults to lane assist off with a 1 button press to switch it on after sta...

Yep, check the trim on the inside of the tailgate. Never seen one fall out, should push home with a click, as it looks like a tab should engage around the narrow neck of the plug.

Agreed on its use as a short term stop gap if you don't have a home charger yet, but intend to get one.

I traded my Born in yesterday 🙁 (I got a lemon as far as I’m concerned so will refrain from slagging the Born off) but the car I bought comes with a granny cable but not a type 2. I expected the opposite so nabbed my type 2 just before handing the car over and have a spare granny cable! To be hones...

The January 10th edition of Autocar magazine has the article about our battery repair issue. See below:Born-battery-issue.jpg Unless they can’t make new ones on the production line then they really don’t have an excuse. They're taking the paste! You would expect VAG to allow the use of equivalent a...

Ok let me ask you it in a different way. Say you didn't own the car and it was a family members. You were in their car sat in the back seats. Now knowing what the quality it like in the rear, how would you feel? Disappointed? I think you'll be disappointed with a lot of cars with your point of view...
