1989 Ford Sierra CL review from Romania
"Low cost, economy, performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a problem with an engine tem-
perature sensor, the engine did not
accelerate when cold, just after start.
General comments?
It's a big, comfortable, nice line
car, with a lot of horsepower. The N9
engine has the max torque at low rpm's,
2500, and when you press the pedal at
2000 rpm it pushes you in the seat.
When brakeing, it never deviated,
low or high speed, dry or wet, and I
don't have an ABS.
GReat car.
