1991 Ford Fiesta XR2i review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap fun hatch that is still popular"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Worn steering rack replaced.
New starter motor and alternator.
Warped brake disks replaced.
Ball joints replaced on numerous occasions.
Gear-box drive shaft oil seal replaced.
General comments?
A fun and quickish car.
Highly geared steering lets the car down though and makes some corners a bit of a chore.
The support provided by the seats is also poor especially for the taller person.
