Window trim became loose and eventually fell off due to use of electric windows.
Stock speakers in the car began to sound as though they were tearing when listening to heavy bass (replaced speakers) Near impossible to remove door trims to replace speakers.

The fuel efficiency is not fantastic for someone on a budget, generally around 430km per 59L tank, possibly more if you treat it very gently.
Comfort is something that this car scores highly on. The seats in the front and back are quite spacious and deep, allowing for maximum relaxation.
The storage capability of the car is nothing incredible, the Wagon variant ofcourse will have a much larger boot space than the Sedan.
Power isn't superb, but it does have a lot of guts for a stock family car. With any improvements eg: Exhaust, Supercharger - the car will pump out some notable power.

You guys must have duds. My 1997 VS Acclaim V6 gets at least 500 kms to a tank city driving! If I was getting your mileage I would be concerned. Heck, even my 2nd car, a 1985 VK Commodore 3.3 carby, gets over 450 kms to a tankful too!
Get the electronics checked out! My VN was really bad with fuel until I got a new O2 sensor.
