Car articles about Ford (D) Fiesta XR2 by year
First presented in 1976, the Fiesta has been built over 17 million times to date. The phenomenal success that the Fiesta would become was not foreseeable at the time, as there were at least as many opponents of the first Ford small car as there were supporters. But in the end, and not least thanks to the oil crisis, the new concept prevailed and six generations have been built to date. This report looks back and explains the most important stages of the Bobcat project up to the present day, illustrated with over 50 pictures from the history of the Ford Fiesta.
When the Ford Sierra was launched in the late summer of 1982, its modern design was met with surprised and skeptical looks, because in comparison to the angular and almost square Taunus, the Sierra shone exclusively with aerodynamic curves. The XR4i took it to the extreme with its unusual side window design and double rear wing. With its 2.8-liter V6 engine and 150 hp, it was also a sporty match for the competition, but without being able to replace the Capri, as Ford had probably originally planned. This driving report portrays an early Sierra XR4i in current and historical pictures, in the sales brochure and acoustically.
The new Ford Sierra XR4i raised an often-asked question again 40 years ago: Who builds the best family-friendly sports sedan? A comparison test with the still freshly christened Alfa Romeo GTV6 and BMW 323i was intended to answer this question. This article reproduces the original wording from back then, supplemented by historical images and sales literature of the three rivals.
Convertible fun doesn't have to be expensive, especially not with a classic car. The Opel Kadett, Ford Escort and VW Golf prove that you can enjoy open-top driving fun even on a budget.
