1994 Ford Escort XR3i 16V review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator at 40,000 miles.
Starter motor went at 50,000 miles.
Front wheel bearings went at 60,000 miles.
General comments?
If you can avoid the 105 bhp models (as mine is) because it's just too slow at all rev ranges, it just doesn't drive like a hot hatch should. They look best when lowered and with RS2000 side skirts & kit, otherwise a very standard looking car.
