"Absolutely disappointing for that high price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Battery broke down after 1000 km.

Rust in the trunk, rust at the body, alongside the wheels.

Temperature gauge got stuck at 20.000 km.

Exhaust pipe broke at 70.000 km, was replaced by a new one due to a recall.

Accelerator pedal gets stuck at full power (only at low temperatures).

Back brake discs & pads had to be replaced 2 times.

Track rods had to be replaced at 40.000 km.

Steel-Wheels (used during the winter-months) are rusting excessively.

Rattling in the dash and at the roof.

Engine gets hot at mountain-roads.

Engine leaks oil (started at 50.000km).

The hood-closing-system was replaced due to a recall.

General comments?

Acceleration of the car is very poor (only 75 horsepowers combined with a heavy weighting body).

No power windows, no standard sunroof, no air-condition, back-seats can't be folded, "classic" trim is fitted very poor.

Engine is very loud, especially at high speeds.

Passenger cabin is too small in the back.

Only one single windscreen-wiper which doesn't clean but smear!

For your wiper problem try using a new wiper blade. I'm pretty sure the wiper will work better.
