Blown head gasket.
Worn driveshafts.
Niggly electrical problems.
Rear wheel brake cylinder.
Dirty fuel system (due to neglect by the previous owner).
Leaking sunroof.
General comments?
Delightful to drive... nippy around town.
Reliability can be fine, but you must keep an eye on it!!! Very economical and easy to self-service.
