1986 Ford Fiesta XR2 review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet, but it had a broken engine mount when I bought it.
General comments?
I have had this car for only 2 weeks and I absolutely love it. I'm only the fourth owner of the car and it is in exceptional condition for it's age. This is the third Fiesta I have owned, the other 2 being 1.1 but still Mk2. I think the shape is absolutely classic and these cars are just fun to drive... quick off the mark and brilliant for overtaking.
The top end isn't too bad either - I've had 110mph out of it which isn't bad for a car this old!
Hopefully I will be keeping this car for a few years, there are certain modifications that I'd like to do to get some extra brake horse power out of it, but all in all a good little car and not too expensive to run.
