"Just amazing, fast and frugal"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The electric window would not raise on the 'one touch' operation, the dealer cleaned the channel and it's fine now. I have heard that this is common on modern VW Group cars.

The seat fabric is light gray and shows dirt very easily. It is also very difficult to clean.

General comments?

This car's engine is fantastic! It's so powerful and economical.

The suspension is a real let down. Why does VW alway use such dreadful shock absorbers?

I've now fitted a set of Koni top adjustable dampers the car is much improved.

Now that Skoda have seen fit to put this engine in to the Fabia I've bought one of those now. The Arosa has been sold with 68,000miles on the clock and it never let me down once. Excellent car.
