"Cheap to run, but a waste of money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had an oil leak 6 months after buying it.

Front tyres have been replaced; they were wearing on the inside like they're not sitting right.

Dead spot when put into second gear.

General comments?

Yeah, the car's OK, but I can't wait to sell it; everything on it is so expensive to fix.

A new pair of wipers; you can't just go down to the car shop and buy some. $91.40 for a pair of blades, which is ridiculous.

It runs good, and it gets me from A to B, but I now wish I'd saved my money.

Well, the car driven is very well with good handling. but I still have a few problems with it, such as squeaky front brakes, rattling inside especially in winter, and high pitch noise from under the bonnet driving over 60 km/h.

To the original reviewer, how can the car be cheap to run if the parts needed to do so cost too much?

Cheap to run meaning fuel very cheap on fuel. It still runs when not using window wipers!!!
