Faults:

Starter motor went at 530000km, quick and easy fix.

Power steering sprung a leak; fixed with blood, sweat, tears and tape for now. Awaiting replacement.

Rear axle pinion is getting worn, making clunking noises when changing gears, still runs fine though.

Various leaks here and there - engine oil, power steering, brake fluid, rear axle... You name it, it's leaking. Nothing major though, just need to top it off every couple of months.

General Comments:

Most reliable car I've ever owned. It has never failed me (except when the starter motor went, which I forgive seeing how it was 32 years old and all).

A very roomy and comfortable car, with emphasis on comfortable; it gets you where you need to go at a reasonable price. It's old enough to avoid taxes here in Sweden and it only uses 0.8 liters of fuel per 10km - not bad for a 30+ year old 2 ton barge.

The 2.0 Pinto engine is pretty weak for a car this size, making it a bit sluggish at times, and I don't trust its 1600kg load rating for a second, but it runs and takes me to work and back again day after day. I use it as a daily driver, doing about 100km per day, and it never misses a beat!

Faults:

The exhaust.

1 ball bearing.

Shock absorbers.

Ventiltätningar.

Not much more.

General Comments:

Not a quick car, the engine is too weak.

The seats very comfortable, better than Mercedes.

Good paintwork.

No rust.

It just started every time. Never failed to start.

Good heat in the coupe.

The heater fan failed once, but was so easy to change so I did it myself in 5-10 minutes.

The clutch never failed 260 000 km.

I must say this is the best car I ever had in my life.

Cheap car to run.

400 000 km when I sold the car.

The car had traveled 670 000 km when it was scrapped.

If I could buy a new one, I would do it.
