Spurious negativity such as short life of rubber bushes, and handling?
editI think this is unfounded, unless incompetents were tightening up bolts without the wheels on the ground, which damages the bushes on any car. My uncle had one and it achieved a high mileage with very few problems. I did change a CV joint gaiter for him once, which was easy, and I also noted that the handling was good, as you would expect in a front wheel drive car with wishbone suspension. I had a Mini at the time and I rated the Triumph as having nearly as good handling.
There was however a serious weakness in the front lower suspension mounts on early models, which would have been subject to a recall and replacement. This was the metal brackets, not the rubber bushes. Tiger99 (talk) 19:48, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
