Faults:

A small amount of rust appeared around the drainage hole in the spare wheel well and had to be rectified for a fitness certificate.

Water seems to accumulate in the left rear tail light - occasional emptying is required.

General Comments:

This car covers a huge amount of ground on very little fuel, has an extremely smooth and powerful engine (perhaps it is very light) and whilst lacking any character or style is huge fun to drive.

Typical dealer servicing costs are in the region of $50 NZ a pop. Build quality and basic engineering levels are excellent! If buying a Toyota ensure the cam belt has been replaced on a regular basis in order to avoid very expensive repair bills.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with this car. The only problem that I have had was a tiny bit of rust that I fixed easily.

General Comments:

This is the best car I have ever had. It is extremely powerful and there are not many cars that can keep up with me (even those that have a bigger engine and lots more horsepower). The only cars that can keep up are the CRX VTec and the Sunny 2000GTi. Even though my car has only 130 hp, they are real horsepowers unlike all those new cars that I say have ponypowers, not horsepowers.
