Valve stems renewed at 185000 km.
Left hand tie rod end renewed at 185000 km.
Door locks changed at 186000 km.

Very fast car, especially when accelerating.
Not too noisy.
Nice comfortlevel with electrical locks, preheated drivers seat, roof hatch.
Driving it feels like driving a definately bigger car with a more powerful engine.
Serious fun!
I got this car.
Now he is at 220 000 km
well, the breaks are pretty bad, back brake-cylinders are gone and my parking brake doesn't work, but it is still a fun car,max cruise speed is about 120-130 km/h.
O yeah and 10 days before I had little street race against the fiat punto 1996 (75 Hp, H&R springs,195/50 tyre) and I can tell you I beat his ass with my pug, I don't know maybe it is a driver or it is a car, the point is I won!
No wonder you can beat almost every familycar, it does 0-100km/h in 9,3 seconds! :D I have one too, but I'm using it just in the summer and when there is snow.
I'm not sure if this or the 120i is better to drive :D.
