Owner of the original post. Presently the car is on 254000kms, running faultlessly at this stage, still being used by wife every day for work. Intend keeping it and will repair as necessary.

Replacement parts do not seem to be a problem; plenty of second hand bits available if needed.

Good independent servicing available in Perth Western Australia.

Author of original review. Car has 260000kms still running well, used every day. Just replaced rear muffler section. Other than that no problems; hoping to reach 300000 kms.
