Ford Sierra Hatchback 2.9i V6 XR4x4 5d (1992/J) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Cheap performance car to buy and own.
Costs
Cheap and affordable. Parts readily available. 4WD a bit dear, but there's good second hand bargains about.

On the road
Driving
Great road handling. A driver's car. 4WD traction on road sitcks like glue.
Performance
Still burns off Beamers from the lights. Can't match top end due to rev limiter.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Just keeps going. 'Old Fords never die'.
Image
Still looks good in my opinion.
Comfort
Good comfort and ride.

Security and Service
Security
Forget it? Do your own security.
Service
Parts Ok, but don't believe you can't repair 4WD drive shafts, you can. UJ joints are readily available and a lot cheaper than £200 plus exchange shafts.
