Faults:

No faults so far, have had the car for a short time. Only thing I don't like is the central lock will lock all the doors, but when you unlock it it only unlocks the drivers door, I don't know whether this is a fault with the car or its just the way they are made.

General Comments:

This car is very good, all the electrics still work very well, it has cruise control, central lock, power steer, electric windows and mirrors and they all still work very well.

Faults:

I bought it a few months ago, and it is still in great condition. Low k's to start with, it had had a new gear box and clutch over haul about 2 years ago, new starter motor recently too.

So far nothing is wrong, but its the kind of car where you can really feel it coming up for a service. It performs great, but if you suddenly need that extra belt occasionally, the car will do it, but not so easily.

General Comments:

For a first car, it's magnificent. Extremely comfortable with the big seats and leg room.

With the sunroof open and windows down, it's like a convertable.

The 2.0 engine is good, but if it was maybe a 2.2 or 2.4, that'd be ideal because the car is big. But with a manual, you learn where abouts the power comes from (eg- 2nd gear, 40km/h and onwards is where you get the power)

Very good vision when driving.

Huge boot or trunk.

With front wheel drive, you lose a tiny bit on the turning circle, but not enough to seriously bother anyone.

Very economical - A full tank lasts a long time.

Looks great with the flip-up lights and just in general. The car sits quite low to the road, and does not have a lot of height all over. My paint job is perfect, and I've got the spoiler and tinted windows... it seriously does turn a lot of heads when you cruise past.

For a first car, it's ideal. Good amount of power, good size, good looking machine, good options (everything is electric).

I love it.
