For me , it HAS to be flat bottomed steering wheels in ordinary cars.

Saw one in a CT200h.
It has 99 horsepower and the speed of an arthritic sloth!

Name yours.

I was thoroughly disappointed after reading the review about the new Type R. It's just ordinary now.

Flat bottomed steering wheels are usually stupid. Very few cars have a rack short enough to go lock to lock without passing the bottom of the wheel, and the flat bottom just spoils the rotation. The CT200h is a very good car though.

I'd love to see an end to the SUV craze. They are so unsightly.

The new VAG MQB stuff seems to be as light as a feather! But do we believe everything the Volkswagen Group tells us?!

It's at it's worst viewed from above straight on.

It's at it's worst on the images of the new Ibiza

Those stupid single fog lights that come on as the car turns - appears to be mainly VAG models.

What on earth is the purpose of them?

It might be foggy around the corner. smile

They work well on wife's Tiguan - can see the edge of our drive when turning in. When reversing in the dark they both come on, which seems somewhat pointless.

Retina-burning headlights capable of illuminating the dark side of the Moon. Great for the photocopier selling tosser behind the wheel, less so for oncoming traffic, or is it meant to be like that in a typical "I drive a fking Audi so fk you" fashion?
