Why hate MK1 dash?

Why is the MK1 dashboard hated so much, personally i think it suits the MK1 exterior better than MK2 dash in it, which alot of peep seem to do.

Plus like the MK1/2 golf's the sterio location in the MK1 dash looks alot better, (i.e. higher up) where as the MK2 its at the bottom like the pug 205's and mk2/3 escorts.

Plus side on MK2 dash, the knobs and swiches heater vents etc look more modern, but far from saying it looks better than a MK1 dash.

NOT HATING JUST THOUGHT DEFEND THE MK1 DASH FOR A CHANGE

I love the Golf MK1 dash ... Was in my mates the other day and it made the inside of the car look much bigger and loved where the head unit was.

I for one don't hate the MK1 dash. I quite liked mine when it was in the car. I also agree that the MK1 dash suits the MK1 Novas better.

But im not one to comment about styling since my view on how to style a Nova consists of if its not needed bin it.

mk1 dash is alright - just a little dated. But then the mk2 dash is also dated with compared to anything nowadays...

personal taste I guess.

^^ seriously, let me take you shopping for some decent trainers......or shoes....or wellies.

anything but them :eek: lol lol


as for the dash thing.... mk1 dash in a mk1

.... mk2 dash in a mk2

simple really

Mk1 dashes are great for pikey bastids to pull up behind you and scope out your head unit.

I imagine they also make awesome door stops.

They are the most discraceful, hideous, tacky, distateful, ugly, shabbyest things ever designed by man. If they were big enough for a homeless person to live in, they would be the 'trailer trash' of the hobo community. Other hobos wouldnt let their dogs near them.

I would rather stick a soldering iron down my pee pee than have a MK1 dash.



As you can see, I dont really have an opinion on the subject.

so it was you who i saw in that video 'soldering iron slut.s' lol

Nope, those pussys dont switch them on.

wooo you hate them more than a fat bird hates diet coke and or salad

I prefer the mk2 dash now because you can get a black one, while as far as I remember there wasn't a black colour mk1 dash. Other than that I don't really care that much.

I was just talking to the sugar whilst making a coffee, about how sad it must be couped up the pot, the next thing i know it decided to be free :tard: and covered the floor :confused: next time ill tell it to magic me up some cash :thumb:

:tosser: BT shut your foul, festering, rotten mouth. A soldering iron down your pee pee would improve that shriveled green maggot excuse of a tool. Here's your coat! Bye:cuckoo:

P.S. :tosser:

ROFLMAO. lol

I cant compete with that reply. Im dying with laughter.

MK1 dash

i


oh


NO

If anyone says to my face they prefer a Mk1 dash I will personally castrate them there and then with a rusty spoon :)

this thred just got SO UBER WERIED....

Mark one dash is a big no no! the only thing that i would leave a mark one dash in would be the Sport, something about that nasty brown plastic thats just alowed in that car. GSI dash or nothing at all!

All valid points. However I hate the mk1 dash purely for the material its made of & the downfalls that brings, a hollow droning sound which accentuates engine noise & road noise. And the extra creaks & rattles due to the harder plastic.

Otherwise I couldnt fault the ergonomics of my old mk1 tbh. Stereo location is better.

RJ is Salad Fingers Gen?
lol

If the mk1 dashboard was made out of the same material the mk2 dashboard is made out of then it would be cool.

I also think mk2 dash in a full interior'd car, where as mk1 dash in a stripped out car.

Agree - the material is appaling, imagine showing your new Nova to your mk2 golf driving mates in the late 80's only for one of them to tap the nasty hard dash and laugh in your face. I like the design of it, it has a nice Novaesque square simplicity compared to the lumpy mk2 dash, and those little shelfs under it are pretty useful (not sure if the mk2 has these too). Never been able to get my glovebox to close properly though.

Technically you'd be showing it to your Polo driving mates, and youd have a hell of a lot to take the pee out of them for as well lol

Golf was in the same market as the Astra, which it still is today.


My god im a pedantic bastid.
