Nothing yet, the previous owner was a friend and he never had any major problems with it. Obviously little things sometimes went wrong such as brake lights., but costs near to nothing to get fixed if you go about it the right way.
A excellent performance car for little money and lots of thrills. Cheap to run, comfortable seats, handling could be better. Good for around town, easy to park and reliable as long as its been looked after. Don't get it in red!
Silver & black are the best colors to go for.
How does this car compare to the other 1.8 fiesta, the RS 1800?
Sorry, I meant how does it compare to the 1.8 XR2i 16v?
It should be a fair way better than the 1.8 16v XR2i.
Unless I'm mistaken (feel free to correct me if I am), the RS1800i used a 1.8 16v Zetec and made 130bhp. The XR2i used the same engine detuned to 105bhp (closer to the old 1.6 cvh xr2i output).
This means that the RS1800i did 0-60mph in around 8.5 seconds and topped out at around 125mph, while the XR2i did 0-60mph in around 9secs and topped out at around 115mph.
I imagine the biggest difference will be the mid-range torque.
