General Comments

Had my Ford Escort XR3i for 2 yrs now - it sailed through its mot twice, so much fun to drive so who cares about the mpg. I'm 44 and my partner 38 and driving it around with the noise from the exauhst makes us feel like teenagers again, there have been no mechanical faults at all in the 2 years we've owned it and I and only paid 250 ponds for it - best buy ever. Only trouble is every one wants to race you so treat it with respect for its age but you want to see heads turn when you can hear the roar out of the exhaust pipe which is standard on mine. I'll never sell it.

    Totally agree with your comments although I have an F plate 3i and it's superb on fuel. When I first bought it I ran it on unleaded and the fuel economy was below average but I switched to Super Unleaded and it seems to last much longer and the difference in performance........OH MY GOD!!! Make the switch, for a few pence more per litre, you get loads more smiles per gallon!!
