Hello just thought i'd ask a few q's before i buy a lupo sport. There is one in black with the red trim interior ect i want but i just wanted to know of any common faults with these cars? I've heard the gearbox's tend 2 be naff on these? Or is that just because of people raggin the tits off em? Any common faults or troubles with this car will be appreaciated so i can get a heads up on whats comming. Cheers
