nuttinnew Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Mpg wise I'm getting 50mpg, down to 49mpg last weekend after queuing to get into Biggin Hill (three-up with a boot full and more stuff on the back seat. The 1.0 coped well, it's hilly in those parts and it scooted about quite happily and better than I thought it would tbh).There'll be a few threads on here for things to look out for but basically pedal box probs/ door hinges/catches and the normal things you'd look for with any car.

cardaft Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 My 1.0 averages around 40MPG round town and about 45MPG with a mixture of motorway and town driving. Not too bad really, the 1.0 is a pretty good, solid and reliable engine. Yeah watch out for the already mentioned, although pedal boxes arnt too common on 1,0s, its often 1.4s which have issues for some reason. Although it would be better if the clutch pedal is nice and light, as there is less stress on the pedal box. nuttinnew, i dont think i realised you had kept your arosa, hows it going? you seem to be getting good fuel returns!
