Im lookin at buyin a 'Rolla.
The owner said that the firewall had a crack in it but it has been fixed. I was wondering if this is anything to be worried about and what would cause it to crack? Thanks. |

I'd be slightly(read: f**ken) worried. A vital part of cabin structure being damaged, let alone cracked shows the car may have been in a major prang and there could be other issues with it that could arise later.. What are the details of the rolla (model, engine, shape etc) |

If it's a manual it might be from the clutch (a lot of EA-ED had this problem). If fixed right it shouldn't be a problem.
