Lets discuss xr4 07

[xr8 007]

Hi all,

Looking for a new daily to replace my AU. Looking at something abit more economical but with a little bit of sportyness to it.

After abit of research (wrx's,golf gti etc) i have pin pointed to a xr4 fiesta.

Can i get some pros and cons mechanically for these cars. All i know is that they have the 2.0ltr duratec from the focus. My missus has this same motor and i am very happy with it. Not sure if they have a timing belt or chain??

Anything i should look out for before i take the plunge? I do understand it may require premium fuel but that doesnt worry me as it will still crap on a 6cyl on the economy side of things.

Again its a daily driver, got no kids or passengers so a 2door is somewhat suited.

thanks in advance.
