Faults:

The air recycling lever was jammed of course.

I broke one of the parcel shelf hinges, when I placed the new shelf for my stereo.

The car belts were worn out.

Biggest fault: I crashed it last November: total loss :(((((

General Comments:

Great car, I loved to drive with the roof down. Everybody was looking when I drove by. Just 1 month before the crash I had a great stereo system built in, with everything possible.

The only thing is the performance, it is quite good for a 1.6, but of course it still remains a 1.6. Too bad the 2-liter T-bar is so rare, but if anybody has one for sale! ;)

After the crash I started looking for a Toyota MR-2, because I wanted a little more power under the T-bar, but recently I decided to buy a 100NX again, and then trade it for an MR-2 in 2 years or so.

It's really a special car, you have to like the looks of it, but the handling and comfort is really superb. The steering, the seats, all very comfortable.

Faults:

Brought the car with FSH..... couple of niggles like the rear parcel shelf lugs had snapped, radio aerial snapped and this lag everyone talks about when accelerating..... I have not tried to get the lag fixed yet but I will do in time.......

For some reason people seem to look at the car when driving and there are also admiring looks from other road users especially with the T-Bar out...

Like the gear changes and the willingness of the engine.... shame the engine cannot match up with the willingness it shows..... also I cannot put the air circulation switch into re-circ but it's not a major problem....

Sorted rear parcel shelf out with some stainless steel tube and screws for a touch of retro styling.....

Stereo is good for a standard stereo, especially with my mini disc plugged in.........

WARNING:- Take time finding one cause I almost ended up with one which had been an insurance write off and been repaired....I only found out cause I HPI checked it..... definitely buy one with FULL SERVICE HISTORY. They are out there and worth their weight in gold.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong, apart from the standard fault with the air controller.

General Comments:

Brilliant car, fast, cheap to insure and very reliable. Considering this car has done 95,000 miles I cannot believe how well it drives. Feels much smoother than any of the modern company cars I drive.

Only concern is the lack or rear seating space! Although the boot is more than adequate for my needs.

Looks much better with after market larger alloys.

Faults:

My air lever was jammed when I bought it and the front left spring was in two pieces. Both were easily fixed, the later with 35mm lowering springs.

General Comments:

Good car, easy to modify, exhaust, bonnet vent, 16" alloys, bucket seats - the answer to your comfort problems and air induction kit.

Faults:

Exhaust pipe broke 3 times in 6 months. After I had it replaced by a sports exhaust so it could breathe a little better I never had problems again. And of course the air flow control lever is stuck.

General Comments:

I love this car and if I could I would marry it. The previous owner mounted a complete body kit and had the engine tickled so now it runs like crazy. It does take a lot of maintenance but it is all preventive because I don't want it to breakdown on me.

Faults:

Air circulation lever snapped off.

Carburettor problem.

General Comments:

This was my first ever new car and I really enjoyed driving round Cyprus and the UK in a "convertible" car. Like most of the people replying to this survey I had the recycle lever replaced under warranty after it broke off. I liked them so much I bought another one after 2 years of driving this one and if they still made them I would have bought yet another. Only slight complaint is that the more powerful 2.0 was not available in the UK.
