What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing!!!
General comments?
After owning a Sierra XR4x4 2.9i V6,which I was VERY reluctant to get rid of, I spotted this rare Sierra for the bargain price of £2000.Most people were unaware of the shear power that this car had under the bonnet - A big estate car that topped out at 160mph.It was very amusing to pull along side a cocky boy racer in his 1.6i Escort Cabriolet at traffic lights and then leaving him amazed in a huge cloud of smoke as I shot into the distance. This is a car NOT to be messed with. Although the high fuel consumption left my wallet empty most of the time, I really couldn't complain about my beloved Sierra Estate. On several occasions I was confronted by rude boys in their laughable 1.2 Nova's and Clio's and had the great opportunity of leaving them in shame as I roared off into the distance in my 2.9i Twin-Turbo beauty. It was fun to show up nearly all cars (including a Subaru Impreza!) with what they thought was a standard nasty Sierra, but I had the last laugh, each and every time. Sierra Estates horrible?Think again, friends!Find one of these mean machines and you're sure to be the king!
