"A good, reasonably fast car, but a little expensive for day to day running"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The head gasket went after owing the car a month, this cost about £500 to repair.

The starter motor went about 6 months ago.

The starters were misfiring, then after standing over Christmas, refused to start and had to be towed to the garage.

General comments?

Although I've had a few things go wrong with the car, and I know it's not the 130psi, I still like the car.

Even though it's had NO modifications at all, it's nippy enough to get me away from little boy racer speed freaks who think they can try and overtake me.

The handling is good, although some bends at high speeds feel as though you're only just managing to keep control of the car.

The interior, whilst basic, is comfortable, and the adjustable steering column allows even shorter people to feel at ease behind the wheel!

On the downside, the insurance and tax are high, and for day to day running to and from work, it does drink quite a lot of petrol.
