[s-cars] JNR marketplace list

I wouldn't say they are bad. My father has had one for around eight  
years now and it has been very reliable.

Early cars had oil leak issues at the base of cylinders and the  
original dual mass flywheels were a bit problematic as well.  
Distributor belts were more of an issue before the vent kits were added.
