Did you Buy a Good one or Bad one ???????

[Sheldon]

mine has been good, only problem is the 4 gear when shifting fast its crunches, got a spair one to fit . other that that all good

spare gear? thats the syncro going not the gear..

 

[lingl9z]

when i bought the car and got it home i realised the walls of all four tires were cracked, but the treat was good but = MOT failure/points so got them changed asap, Both window motors went so i rebuild them, The gearbox has just gone and im pretty sure the HG has been gone since i got it as water's been disapearing since after about a month of ownership... Other than that... i think its been okay, Ohh and yes interia light doesnt work!

 

[Galen]

I bought a good one, was fresh import! The only time ive had problems is from modifications!

 

[herbie]

Ive had 2 Glanza's. Never broke down, just wear and tear items. For a 12 year old car im well pleased at the reliablity.

 

[cooki]

only had mt gt for bout 6 months but i havnt had any probs yet(touch wood) so would like to think i got a good one lol

 

[GTmark]

Mine was well cheap 2years ago. I didnt drive her for the 1st 6months while i tidyed a few things up. New gauges installed some tunes a nice T-cut an polish. An for a MK1 it is still quite clean. So mine was average.

 

[WallaceGlanza]

I definately bought a bad one, I've spent thousands on repairs.

 

[GT_Irl]

Definitly got a good one! Fresh import with 60k on the clock and bog standard

 

[Dave.]

I'd say mine has been brilliant (tho not completely without its faults!)

I've covered over 40k in it, in less than a year and a half and except from mods its not asked for a thing except regular oil changes

Given she has so many aftermarket parts I'd say she's a testament to her old owner in Jap land Hope I haven't jinxed it!

Mine was a good one. Just old age has brought my problems on. I wouldnt call them problems though, I am just fussy.

I would have hating having a car that caused me alot of problems. I bought a brill glanza. Haven't had one problem with it. Paid alot of money for the mods to make sure i done it right and didnt have any problems. Has served me well so far! Do alot of you give your cars a hard time?? lol

 

[aaronw]

im very lucky,ive never had a problem with my gt.

cant say the same about previous gts but thats another story.

 

[EP824U]

of course they do, and this just being my opinion, but i see the gt's as more the enthusiasts car, and the glanza as the 'shiny thing that chav's like'.

no offence to any glanza owners, but they are a newer, better looking car.

like the saxo/106, more chavs drive the saxo, they look better.

lol u mite touch a nerve there!

alot of the problems are due to just old age.
im also very picky and everything has to be 100%. i tend to go a bit overboard with bits to make sure its perfect.

 

[Kelly]

Well i've been lucky enough to be able vote that mine has been faultless! she's done me very proud!

 

[Nippon]

I too have voted for faultless. Had one small issue with the heater when i first bought it but it has been good and solid with no probs for 2 years now.
Love it!

my opinion is that the above is bullshit ^^ I see as much work going into Glanzas as I do into GT's.

Either way both cars are starlets so I dont see the difference personally.

Agreed. I dont hear people saying that about Evo 5 + 6's etc...

*EDIT*
What i mean is: Just cos its had a facelift doesnt mean there are not enthusiasts.

My Glanza is nearly up to 30,000 miles in my hands in the 2 years I have had it. Still wearing the set of Goodyear Eagle F1's I put on it after a month of ownership and they have a fair bit of tread left. Nothing has been spent on it apart from regular servicing and a few aftermarket bits. Not one breakdown or issue at all. Treat these cars correctly and they will last for ever. Thrash them and drive them like a cock then they will break. You can tell how I drive from the fact that I will have gotten about 35000 miles out of my tyres!!!
