1990 Ford Sierra Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"A most reliable, fast, exciting machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The usual wear and tear, brake disks, pads etc. I did however snap the timing chain in 2000 and had to replace the head. This was my own fault as I neglected the warning signs. The poor car done well to carry on as long as it did.
General comments?
A very deceptive car with a superb engine. I like to give it a good thrashing every now and again, and although it is an old car, it still sees off most modern 2.0 litres.
If I have one complaint it is the fact that in the wet it tends to be tail happy. A good set of tyres and a light foot certainly helps alleviate this problem, although it can be fun if you get it on a safe area for a play. I had mine on a disused runway and it was super fun.
