The catalytic converter was damaged because it hangs below the level of the rest of the car and there an awful lot of speed bumps around me which it caught on a couple of times.
The petrol tank has a fault with the fuel pump cage inside which has a mounting plate on the bottom and the edges of the mounting plate tend to rust easily.
Exhaust again. damaged manifold when I caught it going down a curb.
The car has good handling for such a small car.
The acceleration is not great (it's a 1.1) but it is very nippy for town centre driving.
The seats are very comfortable as standard and the car is easy to drive.
Good fuel economy.
I have had the same problem with the Catalytic converter. It is way too low even without speed bumps. The other problem I had was the poor handbrake which is difficult to adjust. I also had a problem with the indicators. The flasher unit kept chattering as I drove the car. This was found to be a result of brass in the contact lubricant shorting the switch. I cleaned away the lubricant and put in new and this resolved the problem.
