Now the other Grand vitrara post worked.
Probably had to do the introduction first or something.
Both? How do you mean?
Go fast and ecomodding?
Yes, rubber age. In the A2 I think they are fine ( good enough ).
Noticed wind noise from driverside A-pillar once during one trip in the winter time. But thats probably due to the cold. Below -18C and colder many things do not work perfectly but suprisingly good in the A2. It has been a champ. The worst problem has been when the Webasto heater stoped working. I had ice on both the outside and inside of the windscreen which did not defrost then. I got the whole webasto unit renovated though.
Thats the thing with the A2 1.2tdi. Its worth every replacementpart because of the low consumtion and Aluminum body which never will rust. Its a forever car if one takes care of it.
About 10 years ago i calculated the cost of the A2 to about halv or better compared with every other car i've owned. Including a 1999 corolla with almost nonexistant replacement parts.
Perhaps a modern electric car can do better but i doubt it.
