This little coupe has taken a real hammering from my nephew and it never skipped a beat.
The only things needing replacing were the CV joints, timing belt and battery.
The only thing I hated was the constant bonging of all the warning gadgets telling you the lights are on, the seatbelt is not done up etc..
This little 2 door coupe was fully optioned and it was punished during the time it was in our family, it never let us down once.
Frankly I'm amazed they could build a car so strong.
It never failed to start and was a pleasure to drive.
Hi. I have one of these cars, and I have to admit, that I punish it beyond the limit. I have done "N" to "D" burnouts, handbrake slides, reved engine 700 rpm over the normal shift point of the auto box, etc. I've owned it for almost 1 year, and just now am starting to see small signs of early wear. I love this little car, but I think that it might be time to say goodbye.
