Good Points
pretty nippy, well easy and cheap to fix, handling is cool. oldskool is cool, wot can i say!

Bad Points
a bit rattly, and rusty due to age but still fun motors. It does drink petrol fast tho

General Comments
i bought an xr2 a few months ago, the gearbox was broke, i got a recon box for £50 and me and a mate fitted it ourselves, the car was pretty tatty when i got it, ive sorted the rust and a few engine parts that nedded replacing.

She runs sweet,the parts are so cheap, i had a 1.4 clio b4, this thing absolutly thrashes it! and it was half the price! these cars are well cool, I want to fint a mint one so i cant put a turbo lump in it,

so if any ones knows of a mint one e-mail me!

Accurate review. I have owned 2 of them including my current vehicle. I am lucky as mine is quite tidy, I shall be keeping it that way and hopefully will own a classic in years to come!

These are great cars.
<br>
<br>The definitive boy racer machine, under-rated by everyone - until they get blown away by one that is.
<br>I had immense fun flying past Nova's, Clios, Metros, and other supposedly 'hot' hatches in mine.
<br>
<br>I wrote it off, but thats what comes of driving like a prat. Fun while it lasted though.
