they are not a ugly car at all, they are simply well known for severe rust and electrical faults

Rust, electrical issues, bland looks and simply not being quick enough was what made them unpopular. Even in the rare 130PS trim they were limp (probably due to making nearer 115-120bhp than the 130 claimed).

There's very few mk3 xr3 injections left in the uk.
Definitely a future classic
