On the manual, the rubbish soft alloy gearbox nose, and piteous excuse for a clutch pedal assembly that will confound you.
Some AUs really rust. Some almost don’t. None have a pollen filter, so your AC will be full of decomposed leaf matter.
If it is not rusty, you can maintain it with prompt topical repairs. They come apart easily. I find the AU ute more engaging to drive than my BA ute, which makes me dozy when driving. This may also be partly due to its exhaust leak. |
Its a sedan mate sorry.
There are no leaks yet after a couple months of learner driving in it. The clutch gets tired after a long day driving around town.
The starter motor is now becoming an issue but these are all minor things.
