Rattles galore.
Console storage compartment lid broke Jan'04.
Dashboard warped.
Trim discoloured badly.
Performance is, well, adequate. It is fine around town, but in the hilly country you certainly need to put your boot down. It can keep up with traffic, but that is all.
Ride is crashy.
Handling is reasonably nimble, it is quite chuck-able.
Great colour and styling, but...
Liftback styling meant poor rear seat space, paint is difficult to match up for chips and scratches.
What does "crashy" and "chuck-able" mean? Local slang is fun, but not helpful to a wider audience.
