"$800 eBay special with power, functionality and comfort - hard to believe it's less than 90kW"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drive shaft needs replacing, noticeable when over 4500rpm.

Rear exhaust broken needs replacement.

Rear lock barrel difficult to open, requires a high effort.

The front bumpers, and body side protection moulding fade badly and do not match - sun load testing questionable.

Oil everywhere in engine bay, but still goes hard.

General comments?

Pretty quick old car, handles OK, still don't love front wheel cars due to torque steer, but pretty good for an oldie.

Honest, straight to point and true.
