Nothing in 8 years. Oh apart from a faulty HT lead. Cost £3.65!
Forget all that Metro stuff you've heard. This car is brilliant. Fast off the mark, good handling, the ride quality is superb.
If you want a small runaround, this one should be got. Not very high spec inside, but overall a very big thumbs up.
I have to completely disagree with this. I bought one second hand with 60000 miles. Within six months, it had over doubled its price with repairs.
I have had to replace the gear change lever, radiator, steering column, emissions, wheel bearings.
The ride is not good, it starts vibrating at 70mph, and whistles above that.
The interior is poor (understandably due to its age), as is the exterior.
I would definitely not recommend anybody to buy one of these, even as a first car.

To be honest I think that's rubbish. They are extremely under-rated cars. They are fast, quick, nippy and handle fantasticly. The interior is good and when your driving one you feel like it's a bigger car.
