Hi all,
I've been to test drive a Multiair 1.4 GP today from a 'major' car dealer. I love the look of the car, but I've had a major issue & wanted some advice.
The car has apparently been standing for a while - it was left running for a good 10 minutes to clear the screen as it was -1 when I arrived, but when I started the test drive it was juddery & slow & had no power whatsoever. Coming up to a set of lights I asked the salesman (who knew zip about the car) how stop/start works as I've never had one before. He then pushed the stop/start button & the car promptly died! I started it back up & immediately the Engine Management Light came on & also a multitude of warnings on the dash (ESP etc) along with a yellow triangle with a ! in it. Rather than wait, he told me to try & get it back & by the time we were there it felt like it had gained a bit of power but both warning lights remained on & it just didn't feel right.
They have assured me they will get it looked at & sorted, but I'm now very wary naturally. Is this an issue anyone else has encountered, or should I run very fast in the opposite direction?
Thanks in advance for any help.
