Overall reliability
Great looking-designed and built by bafoons!
Great looking car let down by cheap parts design and poor installation in Poland-Luckily, i am a home mechanic and so far, on this 75000miler have had to fix the following failures
Boot wiring(yours WILL fail). Cheap wiring flexes when boot is opened and splits causing all hell to break loose on electrics
Thermostat housing (plastic link failure-replaced with metal one)
Crank case breather hose connection(even dealers break these)
Door handles breaking off
Eats suspension components
I have changed the clutch as the release bearing was failing
Change cambelt at 4 years/75k miles
Under no circumstances use the dealer network out of warranty! Terrible rip off merchants
Otherwise, lovely car!
