A good ride for a dude
Water started coming in from the tail gate drain system. All the back seats where getting filled with water and the seat belt metal sections got rusty.
I love the car's shape.. it is very nice, but sometimes I ask if it's really worth the money.

The timing belt and rollers had to be changed after 18k miles because of a manufacturing stage defect. Change made for free.
Cold starts not always perfect. Petrol additive necessary.
Brakes, tyres and fuel filter demand routine inspection.
Paint - especially bonnet paint - chips easily.
Looks are its biggest asset; dare I say it will get noticed before other much more luxurious or sporty coupes.
Car is rather quick for its engine capacity, offers good road holding.
There are several factory supplied engine modifications to enhance performance. Fuel regulator turns performance factors onto a new page.
The only thing I dislike is that it's an unbearable heat absorber in the summer. If you want one air-con is a must.

Exactly the same happened to my Opel Tigra. My back seats were soaking, and now the memory went in my car, which prevented the car from starting, which meant it had to be recoded.
