For training I needed a car as a student quickly given that the train does not run on time early enough to arrive at training. Luckily do some budget available. The requirements for this car was that he had to be cheap to drive and preferably also drove a little fun. After driving a Kia Picanto (which I wondered whether ongoing training to go was faster), a Daihatsu Cuore (which the true vibrator is the engine running), I eventually ended up with a Seat Arosa. Of this I have ridden three copies, one for the facelift copy with 90,000 km on the clock in Sport version (when I lay sat in this car that there are many more, as the steering wheel and seats had been completely worn). Then a 1.4 8v in the facelifted copy, seemed in itself a neat copy, only the lack of books did fear the worst. Finally I started driving the Arosa which ultimately became. Inside and out, he looked neat and was also provided with the booklets.

Implementation
The implementation of the Arosa is the sport version, it is beyond easy to recognize at the outlet in the middle of the rear bumper. Furthermore, the car features sport seats, which fit me well. These chairs are well thus quite narrow for the everyday MC Donalds customers most likely inappropriate. Both the driver's seat and passenger seat are adjustable in height. More "luxury" are fog lights, power steering, alloy wheels, spare wheel, central locking, very good speakers (the references I have are Fiat Punto and the Toyota Verso) and electric windows. Furthermore, there is equally built a new radio in the car with Bluetooth so that you can call in the car without being able to expect the infamous "fan mail" from Leeuwarden.

Driveability
What drives the hell such a Canary? Oh well it drives very well, Canary is not sensitive to crosswinds. The engine is well calculated zn task, sometimes it is nice when someone at the traffic lights standing in a lease focus Canary and the left turn to him, these deliver the fright of his life by him pull out. This does not happen too often despite Canary good can, because the driver of Canary gets back often the fright of his life when they see the price of petrol. Furthermore, it is true that in daily use the 100hp, which Canary of the booklets have with refueling of RON 98 more than adequate, but the driver of canary scare the price of RON 98 is not at all, so he stops there RON 95. It is still very canary shifting gear to drive (the next resistance is usually inserted between 2.5 and 3 k rpm) The Canary sends very nice there is enough resistance in the steering wheel and the canary is to place well. This probably is due to the city car has a very broad slippers which Canary, namely 195/45 / R15. This is broader than the slippers of his father Punto diesel.

Perception
"Jaja experience in a car from the VAG stable is that possible?", Which you will probably ask when reading the headline above. Canary proves that it still can. When driving about 80 km / h with Canary seems that much harder. In comparison with the Toyota Verso where the driver feels is very sporidisch in Canary at that speed as 100 km / h. Furthermore Canary when accelerating a very sporty moped, which is not very often heard by the driver by the petrol price. Furthermore Canary very "sporty" (read hard) suspension, which drivers experience as pleasant. The suspension of the aforementioned Verso feels after riding in Canary very limp on.

Space or lack of it
, this is not the strongest point of Canary, when a crate of beer attempting to put in the trunk, then you can not do. Furthermore, it is advisable to bring back passengers who have no legs, because there is no place for. However, in the Canary mention the main room very good. The Canary driver often finds it pleasant to adjust the front seat sporty (read in its lowest position).

Cost
What does it take to drive such a canary, you might ask. This costs to road charging around 77 euros per month and three on insurance about 40 euros a month for a student. The consumption of canary is about 1 in 15, with a peak at 19 to 1 by driving on the freeway 80 500km long. After that canary will soon extra power because she has only a tank of 35 liters. Continue holding canary or a durpje oil, which is not an exception within the VAG group. Within the 10,000 km that are made under my own, she has already taken additional 2 liters.

Problems
Canary unfortunately did have problems zn in the 10,000 km that he was in my possession. EGR has been replaced with the driver when they hear the price of this nearly zn wand (which cost 300 euros) and the Dynamo went recently so the canary through the outlet was kept alive and the driver got another heart attack of the price of this (another 300 euros). Canary is already a few years old, so these defects can unfortunately happen. A further problem to find the driver which runs on Canary oil mixture. Unfortunately, no driver acquaintances within the oil industry and director in his own backyard no oil well found.

Valuations.
For comfort I give 4 stars, 5th fog because at highway speed Canary lot of rows (4000) and thus makes noise.
For performance I give 5 stars, these are just good.
For reliability I give 2 stars, due to difficulties with the EGR and the Dynamo here I can not give sufficient.
User charges I give three stars, the problems with the EGR and Dynamo make sure this was not 5 star.
