Ask an expert

I was testing a dealers car for a friend and found that acceleration was quite pathetic, and also, even when I floored the accelerator when stationary, with the car in "Drive" mode, nothing happened!
Is the automatic gear box stuffed? ( When driven gently, the performance is just acceptable).

It’s impossible to say whether this condition is normal or not but your comments underline the benefits of getting any vehicle checked by an expert before committing to buy.
