Teeth on timing belt torn damaged valves on engine at 61000 miles.
Economy car not many positives.
So let's get this straight. You acquired the car at 61,000 miles. And as of right now you've got 61,000 miles still showing on the odometer? You may want to put a little more effort into your review next time.
Timing belts need to be replaced more often than 61000 miles on these cars. You should have checked to see whether it had been replaced when you purchased it. It is your responsibility to keep up with maintaining your vehicle. Also, these very small cars with small higher rpm engines always need more TLC than a typical older large car. A lot of people learned this the hard way when small cars became popular in the eighties, now it seems they will have to learn again.
