"Good fun, but expensive to run"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Running problems caused by wiring loom fault.

Differential failed - expensive to replace.

Cylinder head problems recently.

General comments?

Useful car, enough loading space.

The engine is great, but prone to head/head gasket problems.

The handling is great, but care is needed in the wet. The back of the car looses grip easily on slippery surfaces.

Comfortable to drive even over long distances with the sports seats.

Uses lots of fuel is driven hard. Otherwise is OK.

Uses a lot of fuel when driven hard?? What did you expect? It's a 2494cc straight 6 designed in the early 1980s and still holds its own with any comparable car today in terms of performance!!

The 325 is actually more economical than the much slower 320.
