"Great looks and handling, but not as economical as suggested"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Alarm system faulty, siren does not work, indicators may stay on if remote is used to set the alarm, head gasket went at 75,000 and cracked a cylinder head.

Minor electrical faults.

General comments?

Handles very well, nice to drive, great looks, not as economical as expected, about 37 mpg, could do more if driven very carefully.

How does the person mentioned actually go about achieving only 37mpg?

I drive 30,000 per year in my XTDT and even with a very heavy foot I achieve 42mpg, but when driven a little more gently I regularly achieve 52mpg, and this is from a 1994 model with 108,000 on the

clock (mind you I change the oil every ten weeks!!!)

I've just bought a used XTDT - am picking it up on Saturday! Can anyone tell me something positive? It seemed good fun when I took it for a test run. Eek!... it sounds like a nightmare from some of these reviews.

Expect electrical problems. Other than that the car should be a pleasure to drive.
