1990 Ford Escort XR3i review from UK and Ireland
"About as much fun as you can have for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little - just normal service items.
Required a new starter motor shortly after purchase.
General comments?
A quick and very tunable pocket rocket.
Just make sure you buy a nice standard one (there are some out there) that hasn't been thrashed.
And keep an eye out for rust...
