Faults:

Rear brake pads replaced 5 times and the front brake pads replaced only 3 times.

The LED duel gauge fades on and off.

Factory fitted radio and cassette failed one year.

General Comments:

It was great, reliable and robust. It was a great daily drive. I am sorry I sold it.

Faults:

Clutch went within first 400km.

Interior light worked intermittently, solved by re-greasing push switches.

Cluster wouldn't always work, solved (remedied) by hitting top of dash.

Fuel and speedometer gauges stopped working twice each over the time I had the car.

Piston 3 was down pressure, as a result blue smoke came out the exhaust under acceleration.

General Comments:

A very good first car. Recommended to all my friends.

Inside the cabin it feels fairly roomy and has excellent all-round vision. The vinyl and plastic interior is good as long as it's well maintained. Seats are very comfortable, and the drivers seating position is very good.

Performance is left wanting in the power division, although it still hit fairly well for its weight category.

Handling was soft but very predictable, making it an excellent car to have fun in; it felt stable and highly throw-able in most situations. This car is a very good car to learn in, and a fun car when pushing the envelope.

Faults:

Water regulator broke, but easily fixed.

General Comments:

I bought this car from my aunt to learn to drive in. This car is really easy to drive, you could give it to a 5 year old and they could drive you to Melbourne.

While the car was anything, but powerful, peak torque comes in at 2600rpm, the engine really does feel great for getting up to speed. Because the car has so little power, and no power steering, you really need to thrash it to get anything out of it. But it's a fun car to trash.

The car had done 135000 kilometers when I got it, and nothing was wrong, apart from the dodgy LED dash, which can get on your nerves at times. The fuel gauge is also terribly optimistic. At times, it'll be screaming "YOU'RE GONNA RUN OUTTA FUEL!". About 15 seconds later, it's fine "What? You've got heaps, I don't know what you're talking about!"

The car never misses a beat, and drives great. It's also really comfortable, and the stereo ain't half bad.

The body was a bit crappy with some rust, but that was down to the age anyway. I love it, especially for $1000.

Miss the poor old thing. Recommend it!

Faults:

At 95,000 I replaced the clutch.

At 101,300 I replaced the steering rack gaiter.

At 102,000 I replaced the windscreen due to air getting into the lamination.

At 110,000 I replaced the rear shock absorbers, totally wrecked.

General Comments:

I love this car and wouldn't swap it for anything. very comfortable, extremely reliable, and absolutely brand new condition.

Faults:

In the 6000km nothing major has gone wrong.

Remote release for the boot sometimes doesn't work.

General Comments:

Power Steering is somewhat vague, handles quite erratically at times.

Drivers seat a bit uncomfortable.

Legroom in rear good.

Boot is big enough for two large suitcases or several dead bodies!!

Was surprised to note it had two spark plugs per cylinder. By having these I get around 650km for 45 litres of unleaded - cheaper than my Mitsi Lancer 1500!

Faults:

Replaced thermostat in radiator as soon as I purchased the car.

Boot seals went a little off.

General Comments:

Engine has original seals/ties?, If car is well maintained it will be an excellent reliable car.

This car tends to lack power. A set of twin SU's will fix this problem if installed correctly.

This car is extremely cheap on fuel, and its confert levels are extraordinary.

I have had this car for almost two years and have noticed nothing wrong with it.

Installed a two inch single muffler sports exhaust system, this gave it a beautiful sound. Like an MG.
