1991 Ford Sierra LX review from UK and Ireland
"Nothing better for the price, possibly the perfect car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small exhaust blow.
Instrument dimmer is either on or off.
General comments?
I've only had the car for a week, but covered over 1000 miles in town and on the motorway and it is fantastic, I went from an 03 plate Renault Megane to this £500 Ford and it was a great move to make.
There is no rust on the car, and it has a full service history, with all old MOTs and the original books, keys etc.
It does alright performance wise and is surprisingly economical, 35-45mpg, even though it is a carburreted automatic.
Mid range LX spec is more than adequate too, electric front windows, slide sunroof, tinted glass, delay courtesy light, alarm and more.
Mine came with 12 months MOT and no rust, its mint and completely original, I have added a new stereo though.
The car rides like a new car, it has a very well damped ride and feels like a new car.
I previously had a Fiesta 1.1 which was reliable aswell, these Fords are a great buy, just get a rust free one!
Parts are very cheap and even a novice can service this car.
I can't enthuse enough, Ford should still make this car, I traded a modern stylish hatch for this and have no regrets, if you are considering buying one, do, they are great!
