"An ideal little first car, but better in manual form"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

On three of the wheels the suspension had let itself down.

Quite severe tyre wear.

Auto box had to be replaced about 5000 miles ago.

General comments?

As a first car I have found it to be economical and cheap to insure.

Unfortunately the auto box makes it very slow to pull away, but once going it is quite comfortable.

If I had more choice I would have had a manual, but it was a freebie so I'm not complaining!

At nearly 6" I found the space, especially in the back, to be fairly cramped, but the driving position is still fairly comfortable.
