Hi guys and girls not normally in this section but im looking for a car for the girl friend as she has just passed her test and we went to drive and look at a little arosa and was really disapointed and heres why.
1. the guy wasnt honest in the ad and the body work was not 'mint' (not the cars fault)
2. the clutch pedal felt like it was going to fall off
3. the gearbox was really really stiff (worse then our works van)
4. Done the old check under the oil cap and id say the head gasket was on its way out but the amount of white gunk under there
5. the engine was very tappety was sounded very rattle
6. there was huge amoust of body roll that was quite scary at time (we didnt go above 40)
this was all on a car that had done 57k. just wondering if this was common for them or if this one was just a dud? it has put me off a little i have to say! but im hopin you can restore some faith for me!
