Overview and Common Failures

Body and Interior There are no major complaints about the body, if the car has not been in an accident, it will not rust much. The quality of the interior materials is poor, it quickly scratches and starts to squeak. Electrical Issues Electrical malfunctions are not common here, and only the climate control system often glitches. Engine and Transmission The manual gearbox is not very durable, and the clutch needs to be replaced at 50,000 km. The automatic transmission is good, but it has a characteristic jolt when shifting from first to second gear. Suspension The suspension is a bit stiff, but thanks to this, the car handles quite well. However, its lifespan is not long - by 100,000 km, you will need to replace half of the parts.
