Exhaust blew at some point, whether it was before or after I got it I don't know, but it stopped me getting a WOF.
Brake cables cracked apparently. Didn't even notice.
Alignment was terrible so I corrected it, seems fine now.
Hates being cold. Starts OK, but accelerates like a wet loaf of bread.
Excellent fuel economy, would rather have a little extra power though.
All in all, a great little family car. Not for someone who wants 'pep', but comfortable and economic.
Nice tight turning circle & easy to park. Very standard interior and very ordinary exterior.
I believe that buying a car like that of that age you would expect some of those difficulties. stop complaining.
