1984 Ford Sierra L review from Finland
"Sporty and solid car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator cap had to be replaced.
The steering wheel position had to be adjusted. When you were driving straight, the wheel actually gave an impression that you are turning left.
The car did not always start when raining.
The battery had to be replaced.
General comments?
Some faults yes, but in general the car was very solid, very well built. No rust whatsoever.
The car was way too light from the back, and it was a rear wheel drive, so you had to keep a heavy sandbag to prevent the car from skidding off the road.
The three door version of Sierra is a very sporty looking car.
Very spacious.
