"High performance - bad investment"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Front shock absorber broke (really broke).

4 fuel pumps broke.

Lots of water leakage to the driver compartment - and therefore electric shortcuts.

AC unit (inside the dashboard) rotten.

Head gasket blow at 160000km.

Head was renewed 3 times.

2 electric locks not functioning.

Suspension system had to be totally renewed.

Gear handle carrier broke twice.

Digiplex sensors were replaced twice - very expensive, and disables the car.

General comments?

Very good road grip.

Excellent suspension system.

Very comfortable driving position.

Lots of power for an 1.6 liter engine (from those years).

Excellent steering system.

A ratio of 3:1 for driving / repair time.

I have a fiat tempra SX. I recognized that it has 2 compartments in the front for speakers. I heard that you are not allowed to put speakers next to the dashboard cause it will interfere with the digital display. Is this true? If anyone has an answer can you please send me an e-mail at kurtgalea@onvol.net thank you.
