Ford Sierra Hatchback 1.8 GLX 5d Auto (1991/H) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought 5 years ago and owes me nothing!
Costs
Running cheap (except tyres). Most spares available scrap.

On the road
Driving
Goes well enough. Smooth and eats roads on longer journeys.
Performance
Reasonable MPG returns, but notice required for a quick getaway!

Living with it
Reliability
Very, apart from a faulty wire on my starter motor.
Image
Not exactly a 'hot hatch', is it? But then you don't buy it for that. Capacious as a clown's pocket.
Comfort
Good shaped seats. Not bad and the upholstry/trim has stayed good for 172,000 miles.
-
Security and Service
Security
Left unlocked plenty of times (worth more on insurance, don't you know!) - safe as houses.
Service
Tip: Do the basic servicing yourself and be specific about what you want the garage to do.
