Ford Sierra Estate 2.0i Ghia Cat 5d (1992/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Nothing short of excellent. You will get the top trim level for a similar price to a base level Fiesta of the same age.
Costs
Most components are dirt cheap. You will, however, get stung on some things (injection fuel lines for instance).

On the road
Driving
So long as the steering components aren't worn, you feel very much in control. Gave it 4 because of what happens on ice.
Performance
Nothing short of great. The DOHC (86x86) is a very comfortable engine to drive with. It pulls well from low revs (no need to thrash the poor old girl).

Living with it
Image
I've put 1 because it's what most people would think. I just happen to think it's one of the best looking cars ever (in a modest way).
Comfort
The interior of the car is extremely comfortable, however, it's let down by the bumpy ride when not on A-roads/motorways.

Security and Service
Security
Ha! Put it this way, you don't have to worry if you lock your keys in. Having said that, there is an alarm on this model if the doors opened from the inside (not that it works in the winter).
Service
My local dealer actually gets confused as to what parts I want.
