The fast speed on my window wipers didn't work when I bought the car.
The right window has stopped working, window glass just fell down 1 day!
Leaks in rain or when washing, but hardly ever!
The display light on the oil indicator has never worked.
This car is the second car I have owned. I bought a Fiesta Ghia 1.1 when I was 18. I am now 22, and bought a second hand MGF VVC 1.8i 6 months ago. I love this car. The thing that drew me to it were its looks, and the speed!
The first thing I noticed was that the petrol went down rather quickly compared to other petrol cars. But I have since discovered that driving sensibly, the fuel is fine... Drive like a nutter, the fuel's gonna go!
It hardly ever leaks, corners amazingly, and is quite pokey; when you put your foot down, you're gone!!!
I think I will keep this car for a few years, or for as long as I can. It has given me no major problems so far, so who am I to say it's unreliable!!! People who drive like idiots, should know that their car is going to break. Have fun, but be careful, you'll be fine!!!
Any opinions, below please :)
Love the fact they are rear wheel drive and that VVC engine is smooth and progressive, just wish you didn't have to worry about head gasket failure. If you only give it welly once warmed up it shouldn't be just as likely to happen - but still wouldn't hold my breath. For the cost you can get these, as long as you factor in the price of getting the HG done, you won't be disappointed, and they are still good value for money.
