Faults:

Noise form the trunk cover.

Noise from seat.

Windscreen already scratched.

Irregular performance of the engine, particularly the fuel supply.

Poor head lights.

Poor speaker output.

Noisy break system.

Low top speed. (140kms per hour without forcing the engine)

Instrument panel is very poor.

Unforgivable the lack of RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) indicator.

General Comments:

The fuel supply seems to work improperly, since acceleration is irregular sometimes.

The dealer's service center doesn't seems to handle mechanical problems very well.

Poor technical display, though great attitude on attention.

Seats are confortable, but noisy.

I had to install high performance lights since factory headlights are very poor, specially on the highway.

Besides the noticed problems, it's a great car, with great performance.

I've flashed out Clio's, Corsa's and even Civic's.

But, I would give anyone a good advice, since I've driven almost all type of cars: from the price rate of this car, I would definitely recommend to buy a Ford Fiesta 1.3 or 1.6 16V, either one, since its performance is really stunning. That's the best car you could buy for this price.

Faults:

Absolutly nothing has stopped working with the car. Everything remains as new after 25000km. Only problem I've encountered is a slight aligning problem in the front suspension. The problem could not be solved with minor alingment, so it was necesary to turn to the dealer. No major work, but surely something you would like to do at the dealer's.

General Comments:

Ive driven almost everything, from VW Beetles, to BMW's, and I think this is an excellent car for its price. It won't probably outrun a 1.4 Clio, or a 1.4 Corsa, but it certainly outperforms them in braking (by far) and sharp cornering.

The gearbox works perfectly from third up (it accelerates uniformly), but there is a considerable "hole" between first and second. I don't know if the gearbox is the same for most models, but my car is an 99 EDX 1.3 MPi made in Venezuela.
