Faults:

From 50,000 miles till now (62,000miles):

Radiator leaked, fan stopped, rear brakes seized (rear wheel cylinders and bearings had to be replaced), head gasket blew (did a top overhaul), front shocks replaced, driveshaft replaced, front brake discs replaced, clutch renewed

General Comments:

All the above were done in the last 12 months. Not a very reliable car. Parts cheap,though. Requires specialist care. However, it is a joy to drive and extremely economical. Much better than any Japanese supermini.
