"Perfect starter car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The only serious problem I have had with this car is air in the break lines, however this took me about 30 minutes to fix.

I have had to replace the spark plug leads because on of them broke, I think they were still the originals.

The grip on the wheel has started to work it way lose.

General comments?

The Camira has a very bad reputation; I bought one and have had no problems that aren't to be expected with such and old car.

This car has beaten my mates Nissan Skyline off the mark and into his third gear change.

As for handling I would say it is a little above average for a station wagon and still has some get up and go at 100 kilometers, I have made about 140 but that was before I dismantled the engine and cleaned it all up I think it would do about 190-200 now.

Wow 200km sounds good and I'm sick of all the crap I get from other car drivers. but my mighty camira will give any car of its age a caneing. but it is the driver that makes the car and if you respect the camira, breath with the camira and become one with the camira you will fly with the camira.
