Hi everyone

I am helping my sister look for a car and have seen a nice Arosa for sale, its R reg and has done 42k it only the 1.0Mpi and was just looking for some advice on things to look out for!? Is there any common problems or things I need to check??

I drive a Leon Cupra TDI so the Arosa seems a good choice to stick with Seats and get her on here too ;)

Thanks in Advance, Pacey

Hi

My wifes run around is a 1998 1.4 Auto which has about the same mileage. Had no probs at all in two years. Apparently the 1.0 is not the quickest off the block but great fun around the bends as short wheel base etc. Read elsewhere that pedal mountings on manuals have a slight problem but i should think a test drive would show that up.

The 1.0L Arosa is cheap to insure if your sis is young or just started driving. Check it out as you would any other car, they are built as good as your Leon. My daughters R reg. 1.0L Arosa is just as straight as it left the factory and she loves it.

I have a red mk1 1.0 - he's a very good car, not fast but reliable, cheap to run, insure etc, plus he's a tough little thing with regards hitting stuff :)

Here are a couple of photos in his two guises.
