back in the day they used to be rapid, but as nemma says only when they are not broke...... old 1.3 engine tuned to 150 bhp + is not going to last long!!

They can be fast or they can be knackered and slow. Depends who the owner is and who built the engine. For a 1.4 they are very tunable, but alot of people just fit a bleed valve and then wonder why they blow up all the time. There not unrelaible there just like any engine, if its not set up properly your gonna have problems. As for the rest of the car there are some common faults, but youve got to remember there 15 years old and most have spent their life outside.
