1989 Ford Sierra GLS review from UK and Ireland
"A very reliable and economical performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced fuel tank.
Replaced worn front discs.
General comments?
Very comfortable car. Well laid out interior and driving position.
Very fast considering its age and corners very well for quite a heavy car. Power steering would be a GREAT asset. Brakes very good. Never failed to start in fifteen months, rain or snow, always first time. Minimal service requirements and very cheap spares. Would like another one!
Bodywork very good, no rust on mine.
Very good headlights, especially on full beam. Can be fairly economical on a good "run", 35-40mpg.
