1991 Ford Sierra LX review from UK and Ireland
"A great cheap banger"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There were a couple of rust holes in one sill. That's it.
General comments?
A 1.6 LX Sapphire is firmly in the banger camp, however this one was simply too good to ignore. Low warranted miles, FSH, its carb fed Pinto purrs like a kitten.
As you'd expect, it's not particularly swift, more noticeably so with passengers on board, and it can struggle to pull the 5th gear at motorway speeds. However it's wonderfully comfortable, smooth and quiet to drive.
It regularly returns 35-40 mpg, and has needed no work, apart from two small welding patches on one sill.
