1985 Ford Sierra L review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, solid, comfortable old beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing except tyre wear and warped brakes which is damn good for the amount of miles it has done.
General comments?
Very, very, very, very reliable if it's topped up with oil quite regularly. It always starts.
It's extremely comfortable and refined.
It has fun rear wheel drive handling and not bad performance for the size engine.
Very cheap parts and insurance.
Good fuel economy.
Very solid, only hints of rust which is good for a 16 year old car.
Best car in the world.
