Nothing has gone wrong with this car yet! (knock on wood) The only money I have put into this car are expected costs. For example, I've had the front brake pads replaced at about 100,000kms and had the tires replaced shortly after that.
I have no complaints about this car.
It has been an excellent economy car. It is cheap to run and cheap to maintain.
For a small car it's pretty roomy. I moved across the country with me and all my stuff in this car.
After 4 years it still looks like new inside and out (minus the odd scratch).
It runs smoothly and has guts for a small car. The only time it lags is on particularly steep terrain. Otherwise hills aren't a problem.
My only complaint with my experience with this car is having to deal with the dealership service center. They try and gouge me every time I go in there.
I always get a second opinion on their service reports and so far they were either wrong or exaggerated the problem. I have got any work done elsewhere for half the cost and sometimes find there is no need for work at all.
You don't need to knock on wood these cars 1997 to 1999 are tanks.
