1990 Ford Sierra Sapphire GLS review from UK and Ireland
"A good motorway cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Siezed rear disc callipers.
Rust on rear O/S W/arch.
Alarm system has not functioned since day 1.
General comments?
A surprisingly quick car let down by a stodgy suspension setup! Considering the GLS is basically the cruising family man's fastback the car was no more refined than the standard LX models with the exception of all round discs and MT75 gearbox.
Reliability has been impeccable. Fuel consumption is much better than my previous Sierra LX 1.8 CVH.
