Anything suspension related, and the gearbox/shafts. Good engine in them, can be prone to sensors failing.

Best to just drive it mate..if it feels okay and the usual car checks work out fine then just keep a few quid set but for any eventual failings.

Pretty much like any french car TBH

as above really, Its only new rear beam if you've had a donkey lower it,

But my VTS has pretty much been good for me, only problem i had was a air leak, when my throttle bodies were put on

Cant have more fun £ per £

Drive train components are the main weakness but you will notice if anything is wrong when you drive it.

Bit cramped inside and a bit rattly but other then that their great imo

Drives supercharged Tec with torque
