What things have gone wrong with the car?

The air recycling lever jams constantly.

Can fix by sticking hand up behind dash and pulling linkage or it will free itself eventually.

Door windows rattle like hell if not completely up or completely down.

Some paint came off nose cone when washing with hose (not high pressure).

General comments?

Bought car 2 months ago, I was sold on it's performance, handling and it's T-bar roof arrangement.

I love this car, more now than at first, the styling took a while to get used to, but it definitely looks special with the roof panels off. The standard alloy wheels spoil it a bit by being too thin

and too small.

Driver and front passenger comfort is excellent, although I doubt I could pay someone to sit in the back for any length of time.

It's quite nippy (goes way past the max 120mph shown on speedo) and the engine sounds great, always attracts attention.

I love this car, when the sun is out and the roof is off and I'm cruising along the coastal road, I could even forgive it for sleeping with my girlfriend.

UPDATE.

I drove this car for a year before upgrading to a Primera GTSE in which time the 100NX gave me a lot of pleasure and not too much pain.

Only dramas I can recall are skidding on some black ice and totalling a wishbone arm which a local garage replaced for £120 - dealership wanted over £300 - and trying to replace the roof panel bags, which were missing when I bought the car. I decided wrapping them in a travel rug would suffice after the dealer quoted me over £100! I also ended up replacing the rivets which hold the parcel shelf hinges on.
