He was great, RIP

Memories of a great car era....brilliant presenter Chris was

You can tell the ford engine was an early unit as he called it 'Zeta', before they had to change it to Zetec due to some trademark issue with Lancia

Yes the zx was a truly superb car, still the best handling car I've driven, was so fun. Want another one !!

The Nissan Sunny GTi, a really under rated car, never sold that well considering. Shame they didn't have the ZX 16v or Renault 19 16v, both were excellent hot hatches from that period.

i like the disclaimer in the middle just before the "track testing". mine as well say this video was made in mexico haha

That Ford engine rattles like a washing machine full of nuts and bolts............just like my old 1990 Escort did. :-D

Scary I watched this episode in 1992!!!

Or the ZX 16v....the ultra rare model that came above the Volcane. I had one of these and it was far better than any of the competition.

ZX all the way!

Years ago I had an argument with my brother as he said there was no Mk V XR3i, and this was before the internet so wasn't one of those arguments that could be settled in seconds.

There were 2! One with more power than the other. I remember my mates brother buying the slower one and getting a hard time from his mates😂

I wrote that before I got to the point in the video where he mentions it😂 130 and 105...I remember now!!

Did Top Gear ever tested the FIAT Tipo?

I`ll take the ZX Volcane thank you. :))) If you want to go seriously hardcore for those times take the ZX Dakar :)))))

Somewhat offtopic - does anyone know if old Top Gear ever tested the legendary Citroën Xantia Activa? Is there a video of that episode perhaps?

It tost by Demuro

Haha, the Golf doesn't torque steer as it hasn't got enough power, it couldn't pull a greased stick out a pigs arse. I like the Volcane but i'm bias.

126mph was quick 30 years ago.

Mk3 golf is a death trap

That Ford xr3i 🤮🤮🤮

The Escort was garbage, look at the cars you'd have missed out on if your choose one.
