Ford Sierra Sapphire
  • Economy

    3 out of 5 3.0

    You've really got to know these cars inside and out for what you are looking for, but in my opinion its a right pocket rocket with lots of potential performance behind it.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    I bought mine at a comfortable 250 which id say is average as you can catch hold of one of these particular models in and around the £800 mark that's for your tidy mint condition models and as with mine it was in average condition.

    Driving

    Smooth, comfortable and very reliable an absolute bargain to buy.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent performance, I recorded speed of 110 in 3rd and still wanted more.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    With so many parts available its easy to service and maintain.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Although old in looks I prefer the slightly retro image not to modern not to old, with mine I'm replicating a cosworth lookalike out of my car.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    With a little tlc or uprated suspension etc it can be a luxury liner.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Very poor standard, would recommend de-locking and a thatcham approved security device fitted.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    From what I've seen in this company I definitely live by their saying ''designed for living, engineered to last'' always.
