Something like that! I was a bit worried for a few hours seeing as my petty light was on. Managed to open the bugger in the end though

I'm begining to worry that i've just bought a Ibiza.
Only had ti a week and already i've noticed a few of the listed quirks. lol

AC goes mad when I turn it on low, slowly greep up without me touching it.
The petrol Bleep, scared the hell out of me.
Scratched door handles
Glove box is POO.
Door cards are POO
Were the hell are you supposed to put a can of coke??

I laughed today as I didn't know what the button was on the dash beside the heated rear window. Checked the book and couldn't find what it is, so this morning I thought bugger it i'm gonna press it and see what it does lol imagine my surprise when it shot out of the dash. lol Card holder... How stupid but it does now have my spare change in it.

BUT I have to say I love the boot catch.... Took me a while at the garage to figure it out. I think that swung it for me and I bought it. PMSL...

[Riko]

You know you have a Mk3 cupra when your away on holiday for a week and miss driving it!! Had to share driving in my mates 1.4 polo...

 

[dub_dan]

When you replace the window motor and reg then 2 weeks later the switch goes.

 

[BlondieVAG]

When telling a girl what car you have you just tell them its a golf
When handling is compromised of a random mix of under and oversteer
When your wipers just dont wipe
When you have to explain why your headunit is under the steering wheel
When your central locking only works in your garage but never in the street
When theres a hole in the carpet under the clutch
When you lend your mates the car and they cant start it (Apparently the immobiliser is odd?)
When you take a plastic trim panel off and know its never going back on again because you broke the clips.
When you buy parts off polos and golfs at vw shows and think "That should fit", spend hours trying to bodge it, and then realise you broke the original part. But at least you get the ebay feedback.
1.4 only : When 5000rpm is "cruising"

i'm a girl and i know what one is.. mr steriotypical *jokes*

I'm slightly concerned / releaved that everyone has all these probs with them.. lol!

u know u have a cupra when not one person understands the electrics...

[conord]

had mine about 2 months and have aload of these but thankfully the less serious ones. obviously the beep scares the crap outta me, the scratched door handles. what is the deal with that. the crazy stereo knob.
the no cup holder thing is a pain aswell.

howeve my one is you know you've a mk3 cupra when you can't stop smiling while driving it, especially when the jap lads pull along side you on the motorway for a look at the cute yellow yolk.

 

[JB!]
