What things have gone wrong with the car?

Exhaust.

Leaking: hydraulic fluid, oil, petrol, water, radiator.

Rear suspension failed.

Hydraulic pump failed.

Ignition wire faulty.

Rngine overheating.

General comments?

After being run for 12,000 miles in 6 months, this 123,000 mile complete failure of everything occured. A quick lightweight car, let down by the lack of reliability and high repair costs

Looking at all the faults, it looks more that the car isn't serviced at all.

Always check your hydraulic fluid - if not the pump will eventually fail. Overheated engine? No coolant in radiator.

That's the problem with lots of reviews. People think that cars can maintain themselves. No maintenance = lots of problems. The car breaks down and they say the reliability of the car is bad. And that's not true of course...
