Faults:

1. Exhaust Pipe went, but that was to age.

2. Oil Sump leaked oil all the time.

3. Due to age, the carb. started to fail, and it consumed large amounts of fuel.

4. Someone broke the rear-left window and stole the spare whee.

5. Drivers window wouldn't open.

6. The radio was useless.

7. Other small things went wrong which I can't remember.

8. In the end, the car was stolen.

General Comments:

The car was not brilliant, it consumed large amounts of petrol, parts were hard to find since the car was a Japanesse import, and if you went over 70mph, all I have to say is to hold onto something solid and wear the seatbelt. It leaked oil, and on the drive-way, there was always a oil stain. It was OK for short journeys, but just don't drive from Dublin to Galway, because you will feel the pain.

Faults:

The brake pads have worn out, but that's not too unexpected.

The handbrake indicator light's performance is intermittent at best. ie. it comes on and off when it pleases; relating not one iota as to if the handbrake is applied!

The exhaust fittings went. And the whole exhaust had to be replaced at around 95000 miles.

General Comments:

The car runs well and you have to give it to the manufacturers, it starts every time.

It is underpowered, but as a first car it is adequate.

Still has enough gas to get you past those annoying articulated trucks.

The seats have suffered from use.
