"Fast, comfortable, almost classic cheap car with almost no maintenance costs"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission won't go up for the first 5 minutes (cold)

Transmission went back (!) at 200 km/h.

Rear door falls down when opened (depending on temperature)

Steering house leaks (have to fill up the hydraulic oil every 4 months).

General comments?

Incredible trustworthy and fast engine.

Almost no repair costs in the last 6 years.

Great comfortable chairs.

The problem of the tailgate dropping down in cold weather can be solved by fitting two new gas struts. I had the same fault on my car and it was a nuisance until I had the repair done. The repair was inexpensive and since then it has been fine.
