Faults:

Fault with the radiator, which caused severe overheating when driven in harsh conditions.

Passenger side window fell out as the rail had rusted out.

Electric window motors got very sad.

Left rear shock absorber collapsed, causing a slump in the car.

Many other rust spots (in the boot lock catch leaving it unable to lock properly).

Tachometer not working, along with all the other gauges.

Had an extremely bad battery drain, and only got one real chance to start it before either having to recharge it or tow start it.

Key assembly was quite rough, and could be hard to turn/remove key.

Radiator cap didn't restrain the pressure within the radiator.

General Comments:

The car went great!

Provided I could get it to start, this thing gave me nothing but hours upon hours of fun.

Many times had it revving at full note, and it just sounded like it wanted more, unlike a lot of engines that can sound as though they are about to fly apart.

Removed all of the mufflers, leaving it with about 1.5 metres from the head, giving it a great note, heard by people around my town for miles! Was my plan to put it on the road, but it was going to give many hassles and it went just as well, if not better off it! Many memories.

R.I.P. Fuego.

Faults:

Have had the car approx 5 years. Small electrical faults and troublesome autochoke. No other faults!

General Comments:

Very potent power for the age of car, XR3i's are generally a small spec in the rear mirror.

I wish I could buy a new one (with a 2 LTR Turbo please!)
