Light fuses occasionally stop functioning, easy to replace.
Steering started making a strange squeaking noise.
Starter motor became noisy.
Reverse gear hard to use sometimes (since 80 000 km).
I would recommend this car as a economic vehicle. It's dirt cheap, and if you take good care of it, it can last for a lifetime.
It's a very simple car, almost no electronics, no luxury, no performance (it's a slow car).
I don't like its handling, you should go slow on this thing. Under-steers very easily. Not very stable.
But I like it. It's very reliable, I've had it for 120 000 km (got it with 80 000) and the only things I had to replace were the normal parts that wear out (oil, brakes, some light fuses, tires, etc).
I can make 5.5/100 km very easily. It won't go beyond 140Km/h anyway.
I would say for it's class it's one of the best models.
I just got a Fiesta Wave and I have that same squeaking noise. Did you ever find out what it was?
