Picked up my brand new 172 today and I just cant believe it.......
I noticed straight away that there were two chips one the paintwork which I pointed out to the salesman who said "write Ill book that in for you wright away sir", Then after the long and boring demonstration of how everything works I finally get on the road and drive the thing!. I decieded to go for a spin up the motorway to put a few miles on the clock, this is when I noticed the second fault, when going In a straight line and on the level it pulls to the left! this is the fault im worried about the most as it could be a million and one things causing it and I dont fancy thoses mechanics changing and messing about with my new car. Then a couple of mins later a light near the speedo caught my eye, it was the service and traction control lights. By this stage I was feeling pretty low, I thought these are the sort of problems you get when buying a second hand car but NOT A NEW ONE. Anyway thats 3 faults and as the title says theres one more to come. A little while later up the motorway a white van flashes me from behind then overtakes, I cant workout why so I forget about it until I got to the services where while parking I noticed in a reflection that the brake lights were stuck on.
Im taking back to the dealer tomorrow so hopefully they will sort it quickly but what an anticlimax to the day I ve been waiting for, for 2 months.
<rant over>
Apart from that everythings fine.
