Faults:

Nothing just the normal wear and tear; tyre, brake pads, new battery.

General Comments:

One of the best cars you can get in your lifetime.

Faults:

Drivers door check starp worn at 300000kms.

General Comments:

One of the most reliable and cheap to run vehicles ever.

Over 300000kms with not one oil or coolant leak, only ever required services, tyre's and brakes.

Gets over 100000kms on brake pads.

Owner is mechanic and serviced vehicle for fleet since new.

Very durable interior and comfortable enough on long trips.

Faults:

Creaking noise comes from the door, rear number plate also vibrates against the car.

Lettering on rear came loose.

General Comments:

I've got the base model with air conditioning, metallic paint and tinted windows the only extras. This will set you back about 22000 dollars.

Great 4 speaker stereo, lots of bass front and rear.

The manual is very quick achieving 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 9 seconds flat.

On long trips we get about 6.3 litres per 100 kilometers, while in the city about 8.2 per 100 kilometers. And as the dealer recommended we only ran on premium unleaded.

As far as handling goes it's very stable, and you can push it quite a bit on the bends.

The standard 185 millimetre wide tyres are a bit skinny in my opinion, and I would seriously think about getting the wider alloys next time.

I found it to be a very comfortable driving position, with a good seat that is height adjustable.

Excellent leg and head room in rear.
