Faults:

I purchased this car from my husband's boss. Three months before I bought it, he replaced the clutch. Two days after the car was delivered to my home, the slave cylinder gave out, pushing the piston out the back of the cylinder, breaking the clutch fork and bending the throw out bearing. We think that when the clutch was redone, the guy bought a bad part to begin with.

The car needs new struts and suspension.

General Comments:

By far the best car I have ever owned. Draws a bunch of stares as I drive down the street.

Faults:

The car has not had many problems, currently the wiper module is slowly going bad, but just a few flicks of the switch will usually fix the problem.

General Comments:

The seats are perfect for back road driving, you feel like you're being hugged.

However the suspension is not quite the back road type because you can feel all of the bumps.

Faults:

Lots of electrical problems... horn didn't work, wiper switch failed, mister is busted. But everything has been easy to fix and has cost me almost 0 dollars.

Seats are worn out, but that's normal in these cars... just put some seat covers on and it looks like new.

General Comments:

Great car! lots of power, handles great, comfortable to sit in, but it is kind of small. Looks awesome! like a true sports car.

Faults:

The alternator belt blew the second day I owned it. As a result, all of the warning lights came on.

The horn, seat belt timer buzzer, and the little buzzer that reminds you to turn off your lights failed to operate all at once. Either all three of these functions worked at once or ceased to work at all. My Haynes automotive repair manual listed a part of the CPU as controlling these specific functions. My mechanic checked the CPU and found nothing wrong with it. I was about to take the car to a dealer when the problem went away. I have not had a problem since.

Automatic transmission leaks occasionally, although no substantial amount of fluid is lost.

A/C works for about 5 minutes then stops. Unless the recycled air button is pushed in VERY hot air blows through the ducts, even if the blower is off and the temperature select is all the way on cold. The previous owner told me that the A/C has two line leaks, plus it needs a new expansion and compression valve. I have yet to fix the problem.

Refuses to restart if car is shut off cold.

Gas mileage: 13 Miles Per Gallon city/19 Miles Per Gallon highway = ouch!

General Comments:

Very comfortable driving position for short people.

Wonderful acceleration, excellent handling.

Manual steering is a bit rough however, plus it rides like a tank.

The perfect car for a hormone-driven 18 year old.

Faults:

Clutch kept on going (no fault of mine).

Catalytic converter & exhaust replaced.

Seats worn a bit.

General Comments:

Very fun 1st car! It wasn't the most reliable car (it DID push over 200 000 k's before I sold it).

Handles awesome! Speed and acceleration are similar to other cars of its year/class (ex: Supra, Fiero, 240SX etc..).

Faults:

First off, the radiator cracked.

Secondly, the brakes hadn't been checked, the brake pads were completely worn down, and started grinding against the front right brake rotor.

Other than that, it's running perfectly.

Faults:

Heater computer, windshield wiper blades stripped, numerous electrical maladies, engine ECU, exhaust system.

General Comments:

Much of this car's unreliability was due to the fact that it was "clipped" - one good car made from the good ends of two crashed cars - one that was hit at the rear, one that was hit at the front.
