The one and only example I've come across had auto box issues at very low miles. :-\
-
Expensive repairs can leave you hy-un-dai

I test drove 1 a few years ago,auto was slow,and wasn't a nice drive ;)

Can't remember the year of the one I worked on for someone but it was a manual and went reasonably well (manual) but I was doind rear brakes because he was quoted upwards of £500 for rear discs and pads :o :o Genuine were supplied with hubs only but there was an aftermarket supplier who got it right eventually ::)

It's not a fantastic drive IMHO and being WWD not overly involving. It was the model with the gills on the wing is all I can remember :-X :-[
It did go reasonably well though. Handling wasn't horrendous for a FWD but ISTR that there had been some suspension modding :-\

well wifeys got it now picked it up last night was getting dark by the time we got there but everything seems in order as far as a hairy arse builder can see its got wheels .gave it a short blast and it seemed to go ok not my cup of tea wanted to get back into my miggy arm chair
obviously bit dark now and late so at the crack of dawn i will get it up on the ramps and give it a full diagnostic etc ::) :D all service records etc seem to stack up nicley so hopefully its a good one
the most imortant thing is i got my miggy back thankfully at last it may be a bit brussed with some additional scuffs but its great to drive even had a bit of pavorotti and a sing song on the way home whilst following wifey :y :y
ooooo i got some serious thinking to do within 2 weeks ;)
ta very much like for advice etc :y
