This was my first car. I've had it for over 10 years and driven around 720,000 km with it. I used it daily for work — about 50 km round trip. Under ideal conditions, fuel consumption could go as low as 4.2 L/100 km, with an average of around 5.8, which is excellent. Even though it has a 1.4 turbo engine and a dual-clutch transmission, acceleration at low speeds has a slight delay, especially between second and third gear. In traffic, I’d switch to S mode and it would respond better. Overall, the car didn’t give me major problems. There was a slight coolant leak from the beginning, and when it hit 100,000 km they found an issue with the radiator, which I replaced. The gearbox makes some noise if you keep switching between gears frequently in a short time, but it goes back to normal once the car cools down. Interior space was great for its time — comfortably fits five people. The rear trunk is spacious since it's a hatchback. The seats aren’t the most comfortable though, especially the driver's seat. The stock infotainment screen eventually failed, so I bought a new one and installed it myself. The car holds its value well in the market, even years later — German engineering speaks for itself.

When driving over 120 km/h, the steering wheel and accelerator cause numbness in my hands and feet due to vibrations. Even slight unevenness on the highway results in rhythmic vibrations, making my hands and feet feel numb.

Why does the seatbelt alarm keep going off even though there's no one sitting in my passenger seat? Can anyone help me figure this out?

If you feel dizzy when looking at the left side mirror because it seems magnified, especially after switching your gaze from the right, it might be due to the mirror's curvature or your seating position. Consider adjusting either the mirror or your seat to find a more comfortable view.

Fellow car enthusiasts, have you experienced slow shifting between the 6th and 7th gears with your 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission? Mine doesn't shift to 7th gear even at 80 km/h and waits until it reaches 85 km/h. Is this normal?

I'm not sure why your tires appear underinflated, especially the front ones, even though all four tires are at 250 kPa.

Have you guys changed your tires around 50,000 km? If so, what did you switch to?

Why does the car accelerate well at lower speeds, but when it reaches around 110 km/h, it struggles to accelerate further for overtaking? Even on a slight incline, it has difficulty gaining speed.

It sounds like you are experiencing a vibration issue with your vehicle, especially noticeable at certain speeds. After performing wheel balancing, the shaking became more pronounced between 100 to 110 km/h, even reaching the seats, but it disappears at 120 km/h. You also mentioned that at low speeds on uneven cement roads, there is a resonance from the engine compartment to the steering wheel. These symptoms might indicate an issue with the wheel alignment, tire condition, or suspension components. It would be advisable to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose and resolve the problem accurately.

When lightly pressing the accelerator at low speeds, there's a slight jerk, and when the RPM drops below around 1100, there's a dragging feeling. What could be the problem?

Why are there no big discounts even though this car's sales are so low?
