XR Problems
Nothing is perfect, and that includes the XR4i. I have tried to think what's good and bad about the 4i
Top Ten Bad Things
1	Insurance companies will almost certainly write of your XR4i if you have anything more than the most minor of crashes.
2	The gas struts that hold the tailgate up don't (hold it up that is) Very annoying if you are working in the boot (trunk)
3	Getting parts, mechanical stuff's okay but just try and replace one of those unique door's or quarter panels.
4	Still expensive to buy. You can pay anything from £700 to £3,000
5	Most wont run on unleaded fuel.
6	Fuel consumption. I get around 23 mpg.
7	Rear wheel drive. A bit scary in the wet.
8	They are getting old now, and you will almost certainly be the oldest car wherever you go
9	Rear light clusters tend to leak.
10	Most People just think of them as an ordinary Sierra
Top Ten Good Thing's
1	Still looks fresh, even in the late nineties.
2	You will have many friends in America, it's a cult over their.
3	They don't deprecate. Prices have held stable over the past few years.
4	The engine sound's great.
5	The car has a huge amount of potential, you can do so much with both the chassis and engine.
6	It's a bit unusual, even quite rare now.
7	Performance is still as good as many 'sporty' car models today.
8	Great fun in the wet, just find a deserted car park !
9	Plenty of spares available from the Sierra range
10	The rear spoiler doubles as a picnic table thus saving space on days out
