Hoping to be a new owner!

Post by mabel »

Hi all, been looking for ages for a small, four seat (back ones for the dogs!) automatic convertible and came across this little beauty! So now I am planning on getting one, I've read the very helpful buyers guide but was just wondering if there are any years that have known faults? Have heard mention of the earlier ones having problems but its difficult to know what reviews to believe! It will have to be an automatic, are they reliable?
Thanks for any advice :-)

Hi and welcome.
There is no definate answer about reliability. Even Rolls Royces break down! Just make sure you test everything you can test, and take a friend to help keep you to "buying with your head and not your heart"

You can download the owners manual beforehand so you can be armed with the knowledge of how things work.

Good luck and keep us posted.
Cheers Col.
