I’d far prefer the XR3i over this, those CVH engines really aren’t the best and the exposed cambelt really leads to a short lifespan. It’s cool to have though, much like having a Sierra Cosworth, even though some of the Japanese cars could be considered better.

yup, but stuff paying $12k for what is essentially an English BD Familia. it’s weird how some people have this mentality that “just because it’s European that means it’s worth heaps more”…
