Ford Sierra Reviews from Australia and New Zealand

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with it. The only thing I have had to do is some minor rust repairs.

I purchased it from an English backpacker. I use it daily to and from work, a round trip of 30 kilometres, and it never misses a beat. It cost me $500.00 NZ to purchase.

The biggest thing I had to learn was to remember was the indicator switch is on the left of the steering wheel.

Alternator, brand new universal replacement, $300. But mysterious because I drove for 2,000k's with warning light on, and with no problem. Mechanic said it was a possible fire risk though.

Fuel supply problem intermittent, could be a bad batch of fuel because only it occured twice in two years.

Real tough wagon. "Accidentally" drove it into a solid brick wall and received a tiny split on the front bumper, and a whole lot of useless bricks. Imagine a Japanese car doing the same!!

Good performance if it's allowed to rev high, keeps up with 2.0 fuel injected double overhead cam cars.

17" mags with low profile 225 tyres, makes good cornering at 130km/h.

Next step, find a Cosworth engine and drop it in.

Idle Control valve stopped working.

Electric window switch died.

Amazing Car - So fast, so good. I have driven porsche's, WRX STi's, etc, they are good, but a Cosworth is so flexible, easy to drive.

They are old cars now, so you must find a good one.

Everybody wants to race you.

Nothing while I've owned it. Previous owner/importer had the engine overhauled Jan 1999 just for maintenance & he went back to the UK for a holiday to acquire hoses, gaskets etc. A couple of parts are hard to get but some bits are shared with Australian models. Some fear that if anything major stops the car, not many people will know what it is let alone how to fix it!!!

Virtually a one off car in Australia. One of the last ones built. Has leather, air, last model upgrades. Absolutely brilliant car that is an unknown quantity to WRX & Evo owner's. They won't come near me.

Fantastic on winding roads, wet days & trips interstate. Absolutely loved this car ever since they were first released in the UK. Never thought I'd own one but you have to be lucky in life sometimes.
