Ford Fiesta 1.8 16V XR2i 3d (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Cheap to buy now, not many about - a lot of car for the money
Costs
Bad mpg - awful if you thrash it around
-
On the road
Driving
Fast, good handling - shame there's no PAS
Performance
Goes like stink, especially when just the driver in the car. Very hard suspension so the car rattles quite badly
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet, but I find it hard to trust old cars
Image
Depends what you like. I think this is one of the ultimate chav/ boy-racer cars. Certainly "turns heads" (not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.)
Comfort
Nice seats, but not quite tall enough for me. Very hugging and they look the Don
-
Security and Service
Security
Bad Ford locks so I guess that's why most have an aftermarket security system. Thatcham 1 is probably the best and a steering lock as an extra deterrent
Service
Haven't had any contact with them
-
