When it rains the water enters the car and my feet get wet.
The interior and the hatchback makes some noises when driving on bumping roads.
The seats are not comfortable.
The locks on the front doors make a disturbing noise when using the centralized locking system (the alarm).
The air conditioning takes its power and boosts the consumption.
The engine has good performances, also the gear box.
It's strong, fast and easy to drive, a a little rigid though.
It's not that "hungry", except when using the air conditioning.
Stays well on the road and on water - has good stability.
It's very good for an average family - many baggages can be entered.
It's relatively cheap - around 6000 EUR with air conditioning.
A 2002 Car with so many problems, like you showed in this review, I wouldn't call it as Strong or Reliable.
I Would call it as Flimsy and Unreliable.
It's a good car. It is very cheap, in 90000 km I got out of my pocket only 400 euro for the little problems. So compare it to the 1410...
