    Default Buying a vx berlina

    So I've been deciding on a vt/vx for a while now and after driving a vx berlina on the weekend, I have my heart set on owning one, which will be possible in the next 2-3 months.

    I was just wondering what problems people have with this cars?

    Engine?

    Body?

    Interior?

    Cops? (Being a P plater)

    And anything else you would like to add just to get me more educated about this cars, stuff that I wont find out at a car yard.

    And anything else you would like to add in would be great.

    thanks Ben

    It's pot luck with cars really, some people have no problems and others have endless problems. It depends a lot on how the vehicle was looked after and who owned it before. Ideally you would probably do fine with a car that was owned by an older person who had it serviced regularly rather than a car that has been through many hands.
    You should have no problems with cops unless you start drawing attention to yourself by lowering the car too much, putting bigger wheels on than are allowed, making it too loud or doing anything against the law.
    Apart from that a Berlina is a very good choice.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Go the VX Berlina, I love the blackish interior mine has.
