Ummm, lets get over the nitty gritty.
-The electrics are dodgy. 9/10 dont have properly working ammeters and boost gauges.
-Someone came around to look at mine, we had to turn the lights on because it was night. Flick the switch, one headlight doesn't move, the other one starts going up and down...
-Mates fan switch just died, no reason
-Central point injection means they have two 800cc injectors which coupled with primitive fuel injection doesn't produce the best results
-They are cramped inside...very...cramped.
-They steering is S**THOUSE!!!!! Imagine the deadness of recirculating ball, couple that with primitive variable assist power steering. Throw in one power oversteer moment with me driving...try correcting a car with no steering feel that is constantly adjusting its assistance on you!

Ummm....can think of a few more but I wouldn't touch one again with my money.

Still, twas a fun car some times...like the first time I hit boost in the wet, and because they are really quiet inside, I didn't notice the wheels were spinning.
Or the time it wound up to 200kph when I was running late. Was only pulling 5000rpm but as I had a later model engine with smaller (TC05) turbo it was running out of puff.
