Nothing Major has gone wrong with the vehicle. Most common problem are small overheating issues, which were easily fixed. Had the water pump go about 20000km's ago. Thermostat went about 15000kms ago ($60).Pipe for coolant to run to heater got hole ($12). Radiator Cap ($15) stopped sealing properly therefore lost compression. Plugs on radiator (plastic) fell apart, replaced with copper ones ($2.50).No oil leaks, hardly uses any.
Gearbox failed on me completely, my fault as I drove it hard being my first car and did not service box.
Replaced front seats as side padding collapsed (mainly drivers seat). livable for a while, but got hold of some nice Nissan seats for nothing which fitted nicely.
Replaced CV joints about 50000 kms ago and boot about 10000kms ago. (cornering to hard)
For a 1.6 with a three speed auto she has go a lot of go in her.
Handles very well around corners.
Interior is simple, but nice. I have put some silver appointments on dash to modernise and sports steering wheel.
Interior roomy for small car and boot has got plenty of space considering size of vehicle.
Economy is variable. On a trip with for laser club to Ballerat and Sunshine area. I got 750kms out of a 55 liter tank. Best I ever got. Averages at about 500kms city and highway combo driving.
Hi just wondering you said that your gearbox failed did it give you any warning before hand? many thanks Tanya.
