They're an Si with a bit of a bodykit, half leather and about 2 or 3 groups higher insurance.
Same as any Escort though mate, not bad to drive, not particularly quick but handle quite well [all in comparison to other cars in the same price bracket]. They're 113 bhp [115PS is written on the cam cover].
They suffer from idling problems and rust mostly, both of which aren't expensive to fix

And budget in a set of lower arms for every MOT
If she likes a bit of go, try finding a later XR3i with the 130 bhp engine or an Astra GSi for the same money
