Not in a million years without tweaking. Even the RST is 7.2-ish with

160BHP. More like 9.3 for the XR3i with the 105PS engine.

Nope. It was a CVH and it was injected but it wasn't an XR3i engine.

err, it had exactly the same power and torque as the XR3i....

Its a XR3i engine trust me

There seems to be an extraneous 't' in the above sentence ;-)

CVH means that the engine sounds a bit like a lawnmover.

LOL!

The 1.6i CVH _was_ the XR3i donk...

Quick for the generation, well specified, tended to be looked after rather more than the equivalent XR3i. Not the most attractive of designs, the handling and ride compromise is from another era or so, most will be tat these days.

Plentiful parts available, not too bad on petrol or insurance, and most don't tend to be boy-racer'd up, since it's not cool to have a boot...

Bad ride, poor handling - where's the comprimise?

Cheap :-)

Ones butt on a rough road? :)
