Hi everyone,
I had a quick question concerning the interior of the Minis. I have a 2000 VW Golf GLS. I only have a year and a few months left to pay on it, but I currently have three instances where plastic pieces have snapped (cupholder arm, glovebox strut, and armrest lid release).
Anyways, I'm probably looking at getting a new car in a year or so, probably after I pay it off. This experience (along with the three faulty window regulators and crappy dealer service) has kept me from wanting to get a VW again, so I was just wondering how the Mini interiors hold up. Apparently VW uses pretty cheap plastic, what about Mini? I would like to get something next time that will last a while. After doing a little research, I'm kind of looking at the Subaru WRX or the Ford Focus SVT. Any suggestions?
I'd really appreciate any info that you guys can give. Thanks.
Aloha!
