Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

This car was downright awful. Quite easily the worst I've ever owned. It did well on fuel economy, but anything saved in buying fuel was negated by the amount needed to keep fixing its many and varied ailments. I was once greeted by the garage with "My God, what's gone wrong with it now?!". As a self employed person, it cost me several days' work & pay by leaving me dumped at the side of the road.

How reliable do you find the car?

This was the most unreliable car I've owned. Clutch broke. Stalk controls on steering column broke. Forever needing new brake discs/pads. Aircon broke. Error on fuel gauge led to me running out once in the middle of nowhere. Crank shaft pulley wheel broke. Driver's seat rocked. Rain sensing wipers' performance best described as bizarre and erratic. Alarm went off spontaneously, was unusable in any practical sense. Protective cover on base of engine fell off. A bumpy road could cause the cable connected to the battery to come off no matter how well attached. Mysteriously overheated and left me stranded on motorway hard shoulder, never found the reason why.
