Nice review. A pity its incomprehensive and obviously written by someone
that shouldn't own a car anyway. I will attempt to translate....
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine ran out of oil 7000km - 18000km, & engine fixed at 20000km & ran out
of oil again at 27000km.
I HAVE NEVER CHECKED THE OIL OR ANY OTHER FLUID LEVELS IN MY CAR.
Computer.
IT HAS A COMPUTER, SEVERAL IN FACT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT SOMEONE
MENTIONED COMPUTER.
Roof; 12 months to replace the whole thing - never worked properly & took me
getting Consumer Affairs involved to replace it; it costs $23000.00 to
replace a roof.
I'M A SLIGHTLY METROSEXUAL WHITE COLLAR WORKER WITH A SMALL DICK SO I BOUGHT
A CONVERTIBLE.
Cruise control.
IT HAS A CRUISE CONTROL THAT I NEVER WORKED OUT HOW TO USE.
Paintwork.
I LIVE ON THE COAST, NEVER WASH MY CAR AND PARK WHERE BIRDS OFTEN SHIT ON
IT.
Ignition - still faulty after being replaced.
I HAVE LOTS OF SHIT HANGING OFF MY KEYRING.
Window motor.
A BUILD UP OF BIRD SHIT AND GRIT IN THE WINDOW RUBBERS CAUSED THE MOTOR TO
FAIL.
Window mechanism.
SEE ABOVE.
Gearbox - low on oil, but cannot get into gear when it is cold; reverse &
2nd gear are the worst.
SOMEONE TOLD ME 10,000KMS AGO THAT THE TRANS FLUID WAS PROBABLY LOW, IT
PROBABLY STILL IS, I NEVER HAD ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT.
Roof computer.
LEAVING MY UMBRELLA UP WHILST CONTINUALLY TRYING TO CLOSE THE ROOF DAMAGED
THE ROOF MECHANISM AND FRIED THE OUTPUTS IN THE ROOF COMPUTER.
Vinyl strip at front coming off.
I REGULARLY DRIVE INTO KERBING THAT IS TOO HIGH TO FIT UNDER THE FRONT LIP.
Vinyl lining under roof coming off.
MY UMBRELLA HAS SHARP BITS.
Cigarette lighter.
THE CHARGER FOE MY IPOD IS A VERY TIGHT FIT IN THE LIGHTER SOCKET.
Stereo re-earthed.
MY IPOD'S FM TRANSMITTER DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL SO I CONCLUDED THE STEREO
WAS
FAULTY.
Excessive black brake dust off the wheels.
I DRIVE AROUND A LOT WITH MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REGULARLY
BRAKE HEAVILY TO AVOID RUNNING UP THE ARSE OF THE VEHICLE I'M TAILGATING
WHILST I'M ON THE PHONE.
Brakes squeak.
I HAD A PET MOUSE ONCE.
Car shudders.
EITHER MY BRAKING HABBITS HAVE CAUSED ROTOR WARP OR THE CAR DOESN'T LIKE ME
BEING IN IT. MY WIFE SHUDDERS TOO.
Shocks squeak.
MY CAR ELECTROCUTES ME AND I MAKE NOISES LIKE THE PET MOUSE I USED TO HAVE.
Drivers seat repaired.
I LIKE TO LEAVE THE ROOF DOWN TO SOAK THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR WHEN IT RAINS.
Wear mark on original roof from a plate coming loose in the roof cavity.
BLOODY UMBRELLA.
Excessive road noise since the new roof; have to have the stereo up fully
when on the freeway; it's actually quieter with the roof down.
THE LATEST ENYA DOWNLOADS FOR MY IPOD ARE A LOT QUIETER THAN THE PREVIOUS
ONES. WHEN THE ROOF IS DOWN MY EGO DROWNS OUT EVERYTHING ELSE.
Off the road every month getting repaired;
I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO CHECK THE OIL.
over $38000.00 has been spent fixing it, & it's going off the road again
next week to get the engine, gearbox, cigarette lighter, more paintwork &
black strips fixed again.
IF I BOUGHT ALL THE PARTS AND PAID SOMEONE TO FIT THEM I WOULD HAVE SPENT A
LOT OF MONEY, BUT IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY INSTEAD. PETROL IS
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ISN'T IT?
My KIA Spectra was a nicer car to drive & smoother on the road; I regret
getting rid of it now.
I AM REALLY GAY, MY MARRIAGE IS A SHAM.
