1989 Ford Escort XR3i review from UK and Ireland
"Dagenham's Greatest Dustbin!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!!
General comments?
I love the XR3i - to me it has the most appeal of all of the cars to leave the Dagenham plant. It is responsive without being too overpowering - and with the correct tyres allows me to cruise the bumpy Fenland roads in the safety and knowledge that I WILL get round the corner! It offers comfort and style, and the opportunities to mod this car are endless and by no means expensive.
