1983 Ford Sierra XR4i review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Current mileage - 86k miles.
Track control arm bushes replaced, gearbox overhauled, exhaust system replaced, leaking radiator, clutch pedal rachet.
General comments?
This vehicle must be one of the most underrated of the Ford range. Ignore the boy racer looks and image, this is a truly addictive car. If you see one for sale, take a test drive and you will see what I mean. Not to be confused with the sanitised XR4x4 (1985 on), which was both slower, less purposeful looking and had the added complexity and expense of 4x4 - if a BMW is the Ultimate Driving Machine, then why have they never gone down the front wheel drive or 4x4 route on their flagship models? I rest my case... :)
