long story, but have a 1.0 arosa S for weekend as a curteousy car, when you accelerate on half pedal it goes off ok, if you totally floor it, it doesnt seem to accelerate and half the speed, happens in all gears.
is it just me , or does this happen to all arosa's?:confused:
Tut, tut, tut.......need a few driving lessons do we young man??????? :) ;) :p :hammer:

what you talking about willis?????
ohh the stories i could tell involving the toshiba and circuit of ireland rallies!!!!!
My Arosa accelerates OK for a 1000cc.
It is nippy to start with, but push it and it doesn't go much more. I just drive round 3000-3800 RPM all the time, where the most torque is. My Arosa is most at home 0-40 and 60-80. 40-60 it struggles a bit, and 4th gear I usually just skip altogther, nothing beats a block shift.
Very nice looking and handling car though, very rare it digs in. Can I have a superchipped TDi? Please?
