1987 Ford Sierra L review from UK and Ireland
"The best family car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really, it has begun to leak a bit recently and the automatic choke sticks in the mornings so the engine revs by itself until it is warmed up.
General comments?
This is a fine example of a rear-wheel drive family car. Mondeo's, Vectra's and other car's like it fail because of their poor front-wheel chassis.
The L model is basic though and a Ghia is worth considering.
