Incredibly noisy on the motorway! Wind noise from driver door was very loud, but couldn't see what was causing it. Front window sills didn't meet windows so rain poured into the door wells, which caused some rust. Condensation in cold weather and long journeys is terrible, possibly helped by all the rain in the door wells, which you can hear swishing around occasionally. Radio/cassette never worked properly since purchase (second hand). Front passenger window motor failed, but scrap dealer provided one for £15 (fiddly to fit though).
I actually quite liked this car, despite the problems above. It started every morning with no problems. Took 1 adult and 2 kids and all our camping gear because of the hatchback and at least it wasn't a Ford escort (although it looks like it wants to be). Overall, as a bog standard driver who's just looking for a reliable family runner I'd say steer clear, because it's just not up to scratch.
You people make me laugh. You take a chance on an old Junk, then you come on here moaning when it does not run like a new car.
