General comments?
This is my 3rd xr3i, when I first got my license I had one from 83' and shortly after that an xr3 81'. They were both pretty worn out, but they looked the part. Other cars of mine are.. bmw 315, alfa guilietta, golf gti, bmw 520i, 2 opel ascona gt's, opel vectra sri, golf gti, sierra 2.0gt, and now this one. This is the only car that handles half decent, the rest was crap, including 2 gti's. Also tis is the only car iv've had with normal fuel economy. I love my xr3i, and I wish I hadent bothered buying al those other cars.. now again we are one.
