Nothing yet!!
General comments?
Hey people, Mark here.
The XR2i is a good car for the money but not as well put together as modern Fiestas. A soundproofing kit sorted the road noise but the crappy steering really does let the car down. Very little roll in corners, just the damn inprecise steering rack!!
Thank god the boyracer image didn't catch on with these cars or I wouldnt have bought one, excellent value!!
