Syncro into 4th gear is worn.
Rear suspension bushings needed replacement at around 130,000kms.
CV joints replaced at 135,000kms.
Water leaks around the base of the windscreen leading to shorted fan motor.
Great engine, there's some serious performance to be had above 5500rpm.
There is a lack of torque at lower revs though, and especially when laden you need to rev the car to extract power.
Short gearing great for hard driving, but can make longer trips at speeds of much above 110kmh tiring.
The car handled averagely well standard, but with the addition of 50mm lowering springs, new shocks and wider alloys with decent tyres, it is transformed - corners like it's on rails now, but does tend to scrape on speed bumps and nasty driveways. Brakes are very good standard, I haven't bothered upgrading them yet beyond new pads.
Enough room to comfortably seat four people, but rear center seat is pretty much useless due to the location of the sunroof motor. The rest of the interior is of a pretty pleasant design for the age of the vehicle.
Exterior is fairly good apart from small amounts of rust around the rear spoiler, typical given the proximity to the harbour where I park.
Just want to know, how did you fix the leak? mine leaks on to the foot wall after raining. Can reply to keymoney7@hotmail.com.
