Faults:

Clutch.

Front wheel bearings.

Overhauled brake and suspension system, various parts.

The usual electrical electric gremlins; overhauled starter, alternator, coupe fan motor short circuited and started to smoke, rev meter didn't work and was changed, high beam switch, etc.

General Comments:

Mechanically bomb proof in my ownership and I really trashed this car and the previous owner drove this really hard too. But electrics a complete joke. Always something wrong with the electrics. Bought it dirt cheap. Nobody wanted or could afford these secondhand back then. Expensive insurance, thefts etc.

A cheap and in many ways a better driver's car than the Golf GTI.

Faults:

When I got this car it was in a very bad shape almost every thing it was not working

The previous owner put a 75CL engine instead of its original engine

I did a complete rebuild of the engine

Changed the gearbox as it produced strange noises

Changed the shock absorbers when they leaked their oil

It made strong vibration when I drive over 80 KM/H and it turned out that a wheel had water inside it

It had some electrical problems that caused the alternator to blow and caused the lights to go weak when you use the brakes

The doors had to repaired because they were a little sagging

The body was weak and it had to be strengthened by putting a steel bar on top of the front shock absorbers.

General Comments:

This car is very fast it runs like hell even when the engine was in need for rebuild

Also the car stability is very good. it stuck to the ground.

The engine spare parts are available as they are standard fiat parts although some accessories are hard to find like the lights switches which you have to buy used.

Faults:

The Body work has become weak.

The shock absorbers leaked oil.

The gearbox makes strange sounds.

General Comments:

This car is fast even when the engine is in need for rebuild the stability is fine to.

Faults:

Every thing gone wrong with the car, LETTERLY!

First thing the motor was producing enormous white fumes, I changed the pistons and the rings.

Then After one month, the motor was running on three pistons because one pipe broke and it produced fumes worst than before from every where (even from the radiator).I throw the engine in the garbage and installed a 1.6 lancia motor, it's running very well till now :)

I changed the battery 3 times, the contact switch 5 times, brake pads 2 times, gear box, clutch, dash board with meters 1 time.

Not to mention Rust every where made the body of the car so weak that the spacing between axes of the 2 wheels increased 2cm and made the transmission gear not attached to wheels.

General Comments:

A very DANGEROUS car.once, the wheel actually detached from the car while I was driving because the 4 holes for screws were rusted, Thanks god I was driving at 30km/hr.

Faults:

I renewed the engine, installing new pistons.

List of electrical problems, lights...

Changed disc brakes of the front wheel.

General Comments:

I love this car - reliable, fast on the road, economical (33mpg on the highway), 75hp.

The seats are very comfortable - the previous owner changed them.

The metallic blue of this model is very nice

I drive 150 km every day and the car never fails on the road

I am a mechanical engineer and I well keep it until it turns to dust, and it will not.

Faults:

Some problems at the posterior lights due to humidity.

Rubbers rings on the sospensions. (Not big deal)

General Comments:

Funny car to drive if is in good shape.

Lot of torque already from low revs.

Rigid and nice to drive, a little nervous with the posterior if driven at the limit.

Still aggressive in the 1995.
