1985 Ford Sierra L review from Norway
"Cheap, reliable and steady"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It always starts and keeps running. No problems at all.
General comments?
The car has served me well. I've put on some lowering springs, replaced the front brakes, as well as dampers both front and rear, though this wasn't really required.
Top speed is a bit low, but acceleration is quite good. Fuel economy is not very good, due to the over-sized wheels I've put on, I guess, and me being a little heavy with the right foot.. :)
