"Buy one if skint!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

No problems with the car except in the past year I have gone through 3 starter motor's, the car is currently being fixed now due to the starter motor failing on me again and it was only 4 weeks ago since I changed it. All the starter motors have been re-coned though so it might be just bad luck!!!

Sluggish when cold.

4 speed gearbox makes the petrol consumption very high.

General comments?

For a family car it handles very well round corners.

Steering very light considering there is no power steering.

The reason the starter keeps going is because one of the starter motors have eaten the flywheel.
