Faults:

I had to replace the clutch shortly after I got it. No big deal. $700 or so for that.

The fifth gear synchro has failed, so fifth gear is unavailable. The cost to rebuild the transmission is around $700, too. I just drive in fourth gear now.

The air conditioning is out, but I think it just needs to be recharged.

A lot of plastic parts have broken. The glove box hinges, the driver's door handle trim, and the headlight switch have all broken. I think they are all ABS plastic, because the only glue I can use to repair any of them is two-part epoxy.

The valve cover seal leaks oil down the front of the engine into the exhaust manifold heat shield. There, the oil heats up and burns off. I can see smoke from the edges of the hood when my car's not moving fast enough to vent it all away.

General Comments:

The handling is great for an economy sedan.

I'm 6'1", and I fit comfortably in the driver's seat.

Even without fifth gear, I still get approx. 28 mpg.

Faults:

This car has had about every minor problem a car can possibly have.

In no particular order, I have had the following work done/problems: new tires, front brakes were badly warped, front springs, ball joints, CV boots, complete engine tune up, alternator, fuel injectors, transmission is getting weak, fuse box and headlight wiring, stereo system is destroyed (partially my fault).

I believe the car would have been much better had the previous owner taken better care of it.

General Comments:

Even with all the problems, the car has never let me down or stranded me. It starts right up every time.

Performance is lazy at best, but the car is a very comfortable cruiser once it gets to highway speeds.

Faults:

Drive shafts needed replacing at 95000 miles (cost £150 per side).

Anti-lock braking system failed at 90000 miles (although this did not impair normal braking performance).

General Comments:

The Aero-deck is a great looking and distinctive car, a modern day Scimitar GTE.

The car is comfortable and has an impressive standard specification (including cruise control).

Performance is swift and effortless, although the car has a tendency to understeer heavily in the wet and wheel spins very easily out of junctions.

Faults:

Well first off the front tire fell off one night. Another thing was the clutch went bad and it is really slow. I don't like this car at all. I also have chrome wheel covers on it as well as chrome windshield wipers.

General Comments:

This car is seriously very slow and has no power.

However it is very comfortable to travel in assuming the wheel doesn't fall off again.
