"Complete lemon"

Engine faulty had to be replaced in 2003, windscreen wiper motor died, seats have started to wear badly, Heating system leaks water into the car, car shakes at high speeds, terrible speakers and faulty car stereo.
General comments?
Serious problems with this car, slow and noisy, with lots of problems. Only good quality is its fuel economy, avoid at all costs.
