Left hand CV joint knackered, still knocking, must fix that!
Clutch is juddering but not really a problem.
Winder on drivers side window snapped.
Little oil leak out of petrol pump housing.
Leaking gearbox oil seals when I bought it.
Sunroof mechanism knackered.
Engine is sweet and it is a very cheap car to drive. Feels like it could go forever.
Must solve a few of its minor niggles and hopefully it will go for another 100,000 miles.
Could do with fuel injection though!
Hold onto your old Sunny, I have had an 1989 1.4L, a 1992 1.4L and a 1994 1.6SLX. The more modern Sunnys are nicer inside, but the build quality is nowhere near as good (bordering on crap). I have just flogged my SLX and bought a Civic Vtec.

I agree with steve and you will find my comments on the Honda in the Civic section 1994 /5. My partner has owned 3 of the early 1.4 LS Sunny's and they are really quite remarkable, especially in the 1.4 variant... No timing belt to worry about and with a modicum of good service sense these models will last beyond 150,000 miles if the body holds up on the rear arches, front wings etc. They also have a fair turn of speed!!!
I have just purchased a 1.4 pulsar saloon for £500 on an '89'.
It has covered just 40,000 miles and after a full service tomorrow it will be just superb.
If you find a good un... buy it and stand all the laughter from your mates... You will be able to laugh at them as you continue with mile after reliable mile of trouble free motoring... these cars are really over engineered and are only matched, in my limited opinion, by the mark 2 Honda Civic, one of which I also own.
Happy motoring...
