Faults:

Oil was leaking from every gasket in the engine, the engine bay looked like the interior of an oil rig.

Minor electrical problems got the car stranded every few weeks - blown fuses, faulty contacts, intermittent and untraceable little annoyances that drove me mad.

Turbocharger failed - but that's OK at the age of 15, after all.

No mechanic could ever get it to idle smoothly, and it stalled regularly in Drive at standstill.

General Comments:

The three speed automatic gearbox is ridiculously low geared for a two liter turbocharged car. It had a red-line-limited top speed, which is pretty unusual.

It was an utterly unreliable car with huge maintenance bills and miserable fuel economy, still I just loved it.

It looked the part, it was quick enough and seemed to be a great car - when it worked.
