1985 Ford Sierra Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Almost Perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window motor on front passenger's door failed at 95,000 miles.
Left side rear passenger door handle broke about six months before I sold the car.
General comments?
Apart from two minor faults, one with an electric window and another with a door handle, the Ford Sierra was a perfect car. Its 2.0 engine gave decent economy and strong performance. Its rear wheel drive chassis gave superb ride and handling. Its spacious and comfortable interior was like nothing else I'd ever been in. The dealer service was also good.
It cost me £2,100 when it was seven years old, and two years later I sold it to my brother-in-law for £1,000. He kept it for six years until rust finally got the better of it.
