Rear brake fluid leak.
Front seat tilt and slide mechanism broke. (3 door car).
Alarm goes off when you start the engine (intermittant).
Had the front fog lamp stolen (50 quid for a replacement]
Good looking car, especially with alloys. Local dealer is pretty useless. Had enough of the problems and will probably end up going for something more reliable next time.
I have had a '98 model with 46,500 miles accrued, for two years, I have found it totally reliable in ALL conditions, perhaps because I have it serviced at the suggested intervals, by an authorised dealer, also I haven't had my front fog lamps stolen... strange!
Everyone I speak to concerning this model has nothing but good thing's to say about them, shame they're so rare and difficult to find (let alone catch).
