The XR4 is about to go in for its 3000klm check. The longer I own this car the less I like it.
L/H Tail Light falling out. (fixed at delivery doing it again) Low Power Unresponsive engine. (Note Vortex 98 used) First run in mornings engine rough prone to stalling Engine pings under moderate load. (Note Vortex 98 used)? Fuel venting from filler cap. Car only ever filled to first click. Aircon is crap under performs on warm days. Some drivers report Hot/Cold cycle from Aircon. Engine check light did come on but cleared its self? I havent had this many issues in a year of ownership with XR6 Turbo! Other than that after having owned it for a while. The handling is ordinary. Seating position to high. Seems to suffer from body roll to much. The front seats are uncomfortable after about 30min. Just about any pair of decent sunglasses make the LCD panels unreadable. Because of the seating position and the seemingly excessive body roll it does not inspire any handling confidence. Fuel consumption 9.5-10.0l/100 which is pretty ordinary for the work this car does. Over all after 3000klm this car gets a 3 out of 10 and it only gets 3 because its better than catching a bus. (but not by much).
