What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replacing the front two tyres are a common problem and also the back end of the exhaust on sleeping police men (speed bumps).

General comments?

A fantasic car with spot on interior, looks and performance, it's a real girl magnet. What more does a young lad want!

It is a fantastic car. It relieves stress when the accelerator pedal is pressed! Don't go for cheap front tyres as mine last between 5 and 10 weeks! Spend a little extra and get a harder compound. I have replaced a lot of items on the car, but I think it is just due to neglect by previous owners. It is a fun car to drive and a brilliant head-turner.

From an era when a "sporty" version of a car was a bit more than sticking big wheels and "Sport" stickers on a normal LX model.

Genuinely quick and fun car, and now getting rare. Enjoy!

As to the comment on the tyre's I'd just like to point out that generally the more money tyres cost you, the softer the compound. That's why you get superior grip with expensive tyres rather than budgets, but the budgets will last longer than a softer compound tyre like yoko's.
