Faults:

Every thing you can think of.

Gearbox fell out.

Electrical problems that lead to only starting when it felt like it (had to be bump started most of the time)

Back Suspension (this made the archers rub so nobody could sit in the back)

Oil leaked.

Radiator leaked.

Head gasket.

Seats broke.

Fuel gauge stopped working.

Side indicator stopped working.

Over heated all the time.

Exhorted fell off (when trying to sell the thing)

And the water washer had been replaced with a hot water bottle (as every AX GT now comes with)

General Comments:

Never ever buy one of these, if you do you will notice a hot water bottle where the washer is meant to be, as nearly every AX GT has one because the washer has fallen off. If you have an original washer then you better invest in a hot water bottle because you will need one.

Faults:

The main problem I keep on having is that the down pipes keep on cracking and then snapping off just under the manifold. I have had this problem 4 times now and the car is currently off the road with this problem.

The dash lights won't work so I'm going to have it looked at.

The front left hub has recently given in and that has got to be replaced.

I am on my 5th Alternator which is really taking the mick.

I am on my 2nd battery.

I am also having problems with my left front window, it doesn't like to be wound up any more.

The side mirror's levers have both snapped.

And last but not least, the starter motor is on its way out.

General Comments:

The seat's are really comfortable and the interior decorations are fantastic in comparison to most standard designs.

Though the handling is really bad and becomes even worse when there are passengers.

The car as a whole is extremely fast and nippy for a 1.1 liter and shocks most people with its stupidly fast acceleration from a standing start. This really is to be expected for a car with a completely plastic tailgate.

Faults:

Electric windows didn't work.

Engine cooling fan fell off.

Exhaust was blowing quite badly.

Leaking water bottle.

General Comments:

This was a great little car.

It could give anything a run for its money off the lights, amazing acceleration for a 1.4 engine.

Nice looking inside and the bucket seats are very comfortable.

It had to have a bit of money spent on it, but nothing major so I can't complain.

The engine was a bit noisy at tick-over, but sounded great as the revs rose.

The only really bad thing is that it wouldn't be much fun on a long motorway journey. To noisy at sustained high speed.

As a budget hot hatch it is brilliant.
