Faults:

The bonnet wouldn't initially open when trying to access the engine.

The clutch and gearbox have both been reconditioned to good order (2001).

A new exhaust system has been installed (2002).

A new radio/cassette player has been installed with a replacement Ariel (2002).

The seats though have started to wear slightly at the edges.

General Comments:

The car was left, lonely, unloved and abandoned on somebody's garden for over a year, so it needed a lot of work initially. Bought for £100!

Now the car is fun to drive. Taxed & MOTd till March 2004!

Faults:

Basically nothing; just usual wear and tear (tyres etc). One of the battery terminals keeps corroding and causes a bad contact.

General Comments:

My old Pony is in almost perfect condition apart from quite a lot of rust. It's got a full service history, decent stereo, electric windows, and goes quite fast when required, and it only set me back £150!!

This car is very comfy and roomy compared to my old Nissan Micra, and is great for just cruisin around, kind of sedately. I love my good old Pony. It drives me about without complaint, come rain or shine.

Faults:

So for, there have been no problems with the car, initially I planned to use the car to learn in, and then upgrade. But I have come to love my pony and hope we will have a long and happy relationship together.

General Comments:

Handles superbly.

Very plain interior, and lacking in leg space in the back. (could only be possible on mine as is a 3 door.

Faults:

Catalytic converter went

Other usual problems for ageing cars.

General Comments:

Quite nippy for a saloon although handling was lacking. The aerodynamics were poor, but looks were OK although dated now.

Depreciation is very bad, but is good if you are the buyer as you can pick up a bargain. The Pony is extremely reliable. However the 1.5 is thirsty.

Faults:

Disc's and pads, but the discs were original and had covered 75.000 miles.

A couple of wheel bearings.

General Comments:

A excellent car considering its price when new and it has a good spec including electric windows, electric roof and electric aerial.

Fairly bland to drive, but very reliable.

Faults:

All four electric windows broke down.

Better springs on a bed as far as handling goes!

Fuel gauge didn't work.

General Comments:

Quite a pokey engine.

A bit ugly looking though!

Handled like a house on wheels! (that's why it ended up in a ditch!)

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

A great improvement from The Pony 3.

Great value considering all the extra's. PAS, Electric Windows, Adjustable steering wheel, Slumber support and a responsive MPI engine.
