Roksan Kandy MK3

Advantages: Solid economical car with great potential
Disadvantages: abused ones can rust very badily.

...I bought my XR2i in 1996 for £3500. I was young and mad on modifying cars. What you will read will truly blow you away. My car was a standard 1990 'G' plate, in flame red. The paintwork was tired with no evident damage, all bodywork was fine with no loose fittings. It had the standard check dot grey trim. It did not have the luxury of the recaro seats as in the RST. I drove it around for a couple of months and it was fairly good. Strong on the motorways and practical around town, although it lacked punch. I put it on the rolling road and it was only making 70bhp, down 30 from the 105 standard. This sunny saturday afternoon in 1996 was the catalyst to nearly 4 years of dedication. The beauty of the Mk3 fiesta is it is popular and there are thousands around. All car and motor factor companies reproduce aftermarket car... Read review

Advantages: some great r & b tunes, clever lyrics (and the lyrics are printed in the cd inlay - wahey!)
Disadvantages: she doesn't have the same "attitude" as her competitors, some dull ballads

...INTRODUCTION - WHO IS KANDI? If anyone reading this has previously heard of Kandi Burruss, it is probably related to the fact that she is the Grammy-award-winning songwriter behind numerous r & b smash hits, such as Destiny's Childs "Bills Bills Bills", Pink's "There You Go" and, most famously, TLC's "No Scrubs" - all catchy, clever and distinctive tracks which shot up charts all over the world. Some may even know she launched her own solo career back in 2000, with the song "Don't Think I'm Not". But this wasn't actually her first venture into the charts. In the early nineties, she was one quarter of a girlgroup named Xscape. I know nothing about this band myself but apparently they were platinum-selling so I guess they were big in the States. Anyway, this was the reason why she ended up realising her great potential as... Read review

Advantages: Has a certain Kudos, you look at it and go...yeah thats ok!
Disadvantages: Not the fastest motor you can buy in its class

...I still own and run a Mk3 Cavilier, its my going to Work and Asda run about. (My work Horse). I bought it 3 years ago for £1000 from a dodgey back street garage. It only had 47k on the clock and for a M plate...that wasnt bad. Now let me tell you...its paid for itself twice over since then. These machines are like unstoppable.....they just go and go. The body work never rusts, the engine hardly burns any oil. Christ only knows what Vauxhall treated the paint work with in order to prevent corrosion. Must have been toxic waste from some nuclear reactor somewhere. What ever they done it worked. The engine is a 1.8 injection. The only problem with this is a lack of power, the 8v engine produces about 90bhp which is not much for a large car. Excellant fuel economy however. Escpecially with the price of petrol the way it is. Poor... Read review
