"A cheap family runaround"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Cam belt snapped at 62,000 miles which required all 12 valves replacing.

When I couldn't avoid a big puddle water got trapped in between the spark plugs causing the car to stall.

General comments?

The car lack's a bit in performance all

though handling is that bad.

Dashboard has not been thought out well as the passenger side of the dashboard does not have any where to put anything.

Glove box is far to small it might as well not be there.

Your cam belt?? so was it the original cam belt, if so I'm not surprised it snapped, they do need changing from time to time, 62,000 sounds a bit long to keep the same one, how many years was it on??

There are not many cars that will run with wet plugs, this is not a fault of the car, keep away from large puddles.
