1988 Ford Sierra GLSi review from UK and Ireland
"I love it to pieces!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much, fortunately.
Rust is a common problem in Sierras, especially on the doors, and mine suffered so badly the doors had to be replaced.
Oh well.
General comments?
This is my first car. I love it.
Therefore I'm biased in my opinion of it. I wish it wouldn't rust so much, but it has always been reliable and it's not particularly slow for a 14 year old family car.
Plus, they're so cheap now anyone can get one. I actively encourage everyone to do so.
