1990 Ford Sierra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Very dependable and good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems with the car in 7 years of ownership.
Minor leak from the sump and rear axle drive, but these are well known and cause little concern.
Buy the cheapest tyres you can (it's a heavy car) but replace the engine oil with good quality multigrade and the CVH engine will purr forever!
General comments?
Okay, so its dated and boring to look at, but if you're on a tight budget like me the Sierra and Sapphire cars are excellent! I've owned mine for 7 years now, bought secondhand for pennies, and runs on even less. Standard technology like carburettor means no fiddly electronic ignition to worry about etc. I replace the oil and filter every six tho, and it gets a service once a year when in for its MOT. The car has never missed a beat, let alone failed, and it carries four people in comfort. Our car has been from John O' Groats to Brighton and all points inbetween!
