1990 Ford Sierra XR4x4 review from UK and Ireland
"A very good handler that flies and is dirt cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A set of big end shells went just after I bought it. When I took it to the Ford main dealers they said I couldn't do it, but me and my dad did, but it was quite difficult.
We also had to fit a new steering rack and some front rubbers, but that was it and now it is running gorgeous.
General comments?
The Ford XR4x4 is one of the best cars I have ever driven for handling and the speed isn't bad.
The worst thing about the car is the petrol. When I go out with with my mates, I ask for petrol money when we go in the car because it likes a drink.
