I had a 96 saloon that i bought as a stop gap when finances were bad. in fact the mother in law is still driving it today. Both sills at the rear have rusted, nearside was just surface but the drivers side me and my old man welded up. As far as the front goes, it did need a repair but that was because it had scraped going on and off the drive at our old house. I replaced the starter motor - 75 quid exchange from the local factors as opposed to 280 notes from a nissan stealer  . Horrible seats making long journeys uncomfortable, a heater that was all or nothing, and interesting handling characteristics when pressing on, especially in the wet  but the engine and box were (still) sweet as a nut. They just need plenty of oil changes. so, the same as any other motor really

OOOH!

Avoid like the plague, then.

NEARLY bought a really low mileage one as a stop-gap whilst looking for my miggy, glad I didn't now, reading this.

A mate's MOT station presently has one in having the complete front crossmember being changed.

I swear it's built in obsolescence.. The MR2 Roadster is the same; the rear subframe (the main crossmember that the engine and all suspension components bolt to) turns into swiss cheese after 10 years or less - the welds turn into giant bubbles of rust that slowly expand until you can fit your hand through there..

That's one way of ensuring people scrap their cars regularly, I suppose!
