there is a whole thread about it here
http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showt...t=roger+cordia

i am very very very deeply truly sorry

I had an in-depth read of the above and i do not see what the fuss is about. From my analysis point of view, those problems highlighted by members here is not correct. So i'm happy and glad. If the car or any car had issues as described, i would not buy the car.

chicaboo · 19-03-2010, 03:23 PM

It's OK mate. If you get any major problems with the turbo and such, we're here to help.

I like the steelies, please don't toss them!

Gav.

NaughtyGT · 19-03-2010, 03:28 PM

um....IP check?

NewGTXowner · 19-03-2010, 03:28 PM

Yeah alright, sounds good.

Since i'm new to this type of car, more support the better.

Atm, everything is in perfect order.

70NYD · 19-03-2010, 03:34 PM

what wheels did it come with?
does it drive well?

NewGTXowner · 19-03-2010, 03:41 PM

The car comes with steel rims.

Yeah oath, goes really quick, heaps of pull and handles great. Best buy ever.

chicaboo · 19-03-2010, 03:44 PM

Good stuff mate. Can't wait to see some more recent pics.

BTW: How'd you stumble onto to AstinaGT so quickly after getting the car? Cause it's not an Astina after all.

NewGTXowner · 19-03-2010, 03:49 PM

Just have some friends on a ford forum, fordlaser.com and pointed me here also. I believe members are conjoined with these two forums.

Feel sorry for you mate for buying a lemon.
That car has quite a history.

They were known for being trouble 10 years ago when I lived in NZ and this car is now 20 years old and has a rather nasty history

Have a good read on the forums and you will see why.
Good luck with your car.
And im sure we will see you on here a lot as you will be spending way too much time repairing your car.

NewGTXowner · 19-03-2010, 04:09 PM

I dont think so homey.

NewGTXowner · 19-03-2010, 04:16 PM

The things alleged in that link is pretty much a laughing joke.

So just to let you know, i wont be answering anymore worthless questions like "does it boost good" or "do you hear any strange noises".

As the proud owner of the car, i have the final say about it and what was described in that link is utter nonsesne.
