Good Points: Body work.
Bad Points: Colour and age.
General comments: I like the car very smart indeed I had 1 exactly the same a silver one. Unfortunatly I've had to scrap it cause it needed loads of work doing to it.

I absolutely love my Ford Fiesta XR2i. It's hard not to as I have spent so much of my time (and some money) caring for it. One of my favourite things about the car is the availability of aftermarket performance products. Stick a Piper exhaust on it and you'll turn heads everywhere you go (despite the rust). One last thing, if your exhaust is coughing up blue smoke try changing the valve stem seals. It's a simple job and doing it yourself will give you plenty of time to bond with your car not to ...

The Ford Fiesta XR2i is an amazing car! They are cheap and cheerful, and very fast!! Yes the turbo is faster, but the insurance on the turbo is criminal!!
The rust on this car is the worst bit about it. The main part, as you will probably know is the petrol cap panel, and also the sills and the wings.
Overall, the car is a good buy, and you can pick up a mint one on eBay for peanuts!

My Ford Fiesta XR2i is a litle tuned 1.6 EFI 8v, and now it has a lightened flywheel, modified gear box, sport seats, sport steering wheel. 9cm!! Lowered sports suspension, racing exhaust system, engine tuning, incuding chip tuning and lowering the head and porting the inlet and putlet. :)
And not to forget about the music.. 2kw sub woofers and all in all 1kw other speakers.
TO sum up.... it is a monster even without a turbo engine... :)) and fuel economy is fantastic if having such a rubb ...

Granted I have only had my Ford Fiesta XR2i a short while but I thinks a real GEM of a car!
A XR2i in good condition is rare now but I bought mine for £1850 and was in perfect condition (shop around). It was owned by a woman and kept up together, unlike most XR2i's I have seen. This one doesn't have a boot as such instead has one huge sound system worth £1,000 which was great.
Handling isn't as good as a modern car as it has no power steering, ABS or any of the fancy stuff!

Ive owned a Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec and a BMW 325i coupe and I have gotta say the Ford Fiesta XR2i 8V wins hands down!
I picked up a mint 92 8V standard and I love it to bits.
Ok so it's not the fastest car in the world but it's probably one of the most fun to drive.
No ABS, traction control, air con, power steering, etc, etc to weigh it down so it drives like a go-kart.
This is how a car should be. Nothing to get in the way of the driving experience.
Forget all those £16,000 watere ...

I have owned a grey Ford Fiesta XR2i and currently have a black XR2i 1.6 cvh and I love them. The off the line is a bit slow to start off with but then it rockets up to sixty in a shade under 9 secs.On motorways even in fifth you can still feel the pull of the engine and it copes well in the city, country roads or motorways. It loves to be thrashed and if treated with respect brings endless fun. It can surprise many younger hto hatches with its acceleration, overtaking and handling capabilities. ...

I've had my Ford Fiesta XR2i for almost a year now and I think it's a great car. I live in Italy and I find it's a fairly rare car there. It is somewhat difficult to find after market mods for but with a little research and work it can become a very nice little show car. Mine has all the basic mods, B.M.C carbon dynamic airbox, splitfire sparkplugs, apex lowering springs, POWERFUL exhaust, spoiler, and ULTRA lexus tail lights. Other mods include an undercar L.E.D kit, 16" alloys, custom interior ...

I've had my red Ford Fiesta XR2i now for about half a year, since then my mods have been:
Lowered on G max suspension 40 mm
Ford 3 spoke alloys( they look sick!! )
Full magnex exhaust system ( well loud )
Bad boy bonnet
Momo stearing wheel
Roll cage ( no back seats )
Pipercross induction kit
I strongly recomend all these products if your looking to do up your Fiesta but it does cost you, so look for the best prices and take your time.

The XR2i is a very quick car and is often a very good runner if looked after you may find your tires going bald quite alot but remeber that's your fault! the car can be adjusted a lot with body kits can be lowered andhave things put all over it and they can often look the dogs.
My XR2i is lowered to max with 5 spoke Ford alloys and has all the must have Ford a XR2i like the airfilter,exhaust,spoiler and much more
My overall of this car is it a very fun car just take care of it and it will ...

I have recently bought a Ford Fiesta XR2i J reg car in a lovely 'resprayed' brilliant white.
The interior was much better than my old f reg XR2 and the electric windows were more modern,
First impressions were it was an eye catching car in very good nick considering I payed £500 for it!
But as soon as I drove it away after paying for it I realized it was not as nippy off the mark or at top speed as my previous 'XR2', i'm not sure if its because of the weight difference or is it ju ...

The Ford Fiesta XR2i is a very unreliable car with major mechanical problems. It burns more oil than any other car I have had. Parts are very cheap but are also very unreliable-- you get what you pay for. A cheap car in every respect. Handling is OK for a 1990's car but is simply not up to todays standards of safety or handling.

Ive had 2 Ford Fiesta XR2i's, 1 1800 zetec, and my present 1600 cvh. in my opinon the cvh is far better.
Its a really fun car to drive my mods are full bilstein sprintline 35mm kit, full ashley exhaust, green air filter, omp strut brace, 15" mondeo zetec alloys. I love my 2i aye its got its bad points but as soon as I hit a back road I just totally forget about them.

I've had my 2i now for about a year it's been nothing but fun, sliding round corners on my 15's trying to loose the back end. I have tsw venom's lowered 60 mm (not decked). Full stainless through with mongoose back box 3" end pipe(sounds phat) got a good sound system that sounds so wicked within the small space.the best thing about the fiesta mk3 you don't need to do much to it to make it look the dog's dangly's.next mission "kent/piper cam any idea's??????????????".

The Ford Fiesta XR2i is stunning. I brought mine 3 months ago they are da bomb if u want performance and handling they fly round corners and are easily modable. 31/2 inch exhaust, alloy wheels k&n filter, Dump valve rapid car. I would definatley recommend a boy racer to buy 1 of these and black out the windows, modify it and blow at speed around.

I have recently bought a Ford Fiesta XR2i for only £400 and have now spent the same again on getting it up to standard. Unfortunately it is not as quick off the mark yet as my brothers 205 GTi 1.6 but is a lot better and responsive at high speeds.I have also been reliably informed that with the correct tuning it will be easily on a par if not quicker than my bro's. It does however come nowhere near my dads 1.9 GTi. The car handles superbly and has a very comfortable ride position on the ro ...
