What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing yet.

General comments?

A good car for the price, lots of understeer & body roll thru corners but fairly steady. Excellent fuel economy, bad handbrake as fails to hold well on steep banks. Good performance for a 1 litre, cheap insurance, overall a good car.

If you change down one gear you will notice you can control cornering with your accelerator pedal. Cornering a front wheel drive car in too high a gear can be dangerous because the car will understeer out of the corner. It takes skill to drive a car.

A very decent car for around town and to take you from A-B. It will reach about 90 if you give it time, but lacks power for overtaking and loses speed rapidly uphill.

Lots of under-steer.

I have just brought an AX Spree, good little first time car, sat on driveway for a month or so over Christmas with snow and frosts etc. but still after a month started first time no problem. Great little car and cheap insurance. Love it.

Quality first car, yet to see what it can do, but lack of power steering won't hold me back, cheap insurance for a car that can keep up with the rest!! :)
