1989 Ford Sierra Turnier LX 2.3 diesel
Summary:
Very comfortable car, strong and patient one
Faults:
My gearbox crashed at ~100000 km.
Changed silent-blocks.
Change shock absorbers every 20000 (we have a lot of gravel and other bad quality roads in Lithuania, that I drive trough everyday).
Driver and back doors got rotten.
Roof window doesn't like rain and snow - got stuck.
Changed all bearings.
General Comments:
2.3 diesel engine is unbreakable.
However, diesel engine is very lazy and slow (too slow).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

These are great cars. I agree with you, too slow, but the upside of this is that the engine is so unstressed at only 67 bhp that it will reward your patience by running forever! I have a 2.3 D sapphire, they can bury me in it. I absolutely love it.
