My 900 Experiences

I'm usually from the 9-5 board, but had some interesting experiences in a 900 tonight. A friend of mine hurt her knee so she wasn't able to drive, so I got to drive her '96 900S 5spd with 119k miles.
The Good:
-Pretty quick engine for being only a regular 4 banger. Beat a friend's '95 Legend V6 off the line.
-Drove it 85 miles and barely used any gas (city).
The Bad:
-The car felt very clunky and clanky, like it had 350k miles. Extremely rough ride, is this a normal 900 trait?
-After we went to dinner, I unlocked the doors but the passenger door didn't unlock. Reached over and tried to pull it up, but it wouldn't. My passenger had to climb over the driver seat each time we got in/out for the rest of the night. What happend to the lock???
-The heated seats don't work for some reason, the fuse seemed to be fine.
-The radio gets awful reception no matter which radio station its on.
-Got a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign in a parking lot (or course not the cars fault!) Just soured the experience.
Anyway... I had thoughts of purchasing a NG900 as a second car, but I dunno if I really liked the car. Seems like it is very fragile and it seems to break on my friend alot. What do you think?
