Radiator replaced after the one year warranty period. Probably because of a manufacturing error. This was due to the request of the dealer and only half of expense was for me to pay.
Exhaust system fully replaced due to corrosion.
Some suspension parts replaced. All dampers replaced.
Otherwise normal periodical maintenance. This included an expensive change of the timing belt.
Cold starts below -25 C temperatures are not reliable enough (for me), even when car was new.
Seat upholstery did wear out, but after all it was under heavy use because of a dog.
Good reliable basic car, giving good accommodation also for backseat passengers, and huge trunk space.
Car has good handling characteristics, even in winter conditions.
Cheap to buy, economical to maintain.
What do you think about radiator problems? Tempra has a very hot engine, about 100°C (normal traffic), 105° (traffic jams), it makes damages to the radiator!!! The temperature bulb cans be replaced for Alfa Romeo 155 temperature bulb!
Sorry about my poor English!
