take mine for test drive if you wanna check out the peddles.

they are pretty solid if looked after hence i always get mine serviced and oil changed.

creaks and squeaks are common.

things to check out for...

1) stiff steering. PAS pump could be on its way out.
2) start the engine from cold and see if it judders or missfires on idle.
3) check the gearbox. the gears are slightly loose as common but car shouldnt jump out of gears, not should you be able to knock it out of gear while accelarating.
4) if its lowered, ask how it was done. if the guy says SPLINES, then its been lowered incorrectly and could be costly to sort out aswell as dangerous.

if its lowered over 40mm, ive heard the backend flips out like mad.
