The Car Made it!
Have just covered over 300 miles in out little car. It has behaved faultlessly, cruising on the motorway at 75 mph. Irritating points to note are:
1. The accelerator pedal is far too high for me and hurts my foot! 2. The steering wheel is off centre and must be fixed before I get very annoyed (try holding a panda steering wheel that is off centre!) 3. You have to be gentle with the gearbox, especially third. This is a common and not serious problem though. 4. The stereo does not work - 5 hours in car today with just the wind noise! 5. Unidentified fluid on service station floor - looks to me like just water (not coolant) so hoping it is just water from a puddle. I will keep my eye on it. 6. Neither of the door locks work, so to lock and unlock you have to climb in from the boot. 7. It used around 22 GBP of fuel over 300 miles, which I think is very economical. |
