XR4i the real ultimate driving machine

Advantages: Cheap tp buy very fast great sideways fun!!grin factor head turning ability!
Disadvantages: Little bit thursty

I had a sierra saphire when i was 18 when everyone else had Nova's and fiesta's etc but i wanted something proper a mans car if you will so i saved up £355 and bought myself a sierra 1.6 and thats when i decided that sierras where the car for me, i have previosly had the forementioned fiestas and novas but nothing was as good as the trusty old saphire but 18 months down the line and a new job meant a bit more cash to play with so i bought a 3 series ...
...up a bit and in my madness i actully ended up buying a new shape mondeo ghia x as i was doing alot of motorway miles so when i changed jobs again and didnt use the motorway anymore i decided to get something a little more fun, i scoured the papers autotrader and ebay and the only thing that really appealed to me was another sierra, could'nt really afford a cosworth (although im saving for one now!) so i found a litle cracker on ebay and £500 later ...

Review of Ford Sierra XR4

Tune up and burn some rubber

Advantages: Looks , price, speed,
Disadvantages: cost to run, parts

hears my tale of my saphire cossy H plate leather trim, 145mph + (it wanted more ) ace drive, looks good !. another good point is that it does not look like you have gone to the nearest car shop and stook on bumpers and stickers etc.. you actually get respect for the way it looks :) the saphire coswoth has shire grunt ( if your able to tune it up it can beet quite alot of cars on the road) although somepeople think 25 miles per gallon ( on average) ...
...well worth it. i.e 145mph hehe. handling is brilliant and price deperivating is also brilliant providing you dont smash it up a 2nd hand one can csost in the region of ~ £4000 and you could sell for the same As with all coswoths if somthing does go wrong, the price to fix it is normally alot more than that of the "standrd " model. which again is expected as. if you can afford to run and insure these beasts maintainance should not be a prob. this ...

Review of Ford Sierra Cosworth

Ford Sierra. Workhorse or Donkey???

Advantages: Huge, powerful, no nonsense
Disadvantages: Rear wheel drive in wet

...My first ever car. A Ford Sierra Estate. A lovely big car, spacious, with enough room to fit the entire contents of your house in. Well, a three seater couch anyway!!! Mine was a 2 litre, 8 valve which gave good power to the wheels. Only problem was that no matter what tyres were on her, if you went round a corner even moderately fast and squirted the accelarator, you would be looking at where you've just been. Road holding was poor and you often ...
...going for the Ghia which wil give you more buttons than the Starship Enterprise. Go for the L model like mine and you get a manual sunroof!!! You will have to spend about £1000-2000 to get a decent one without rust and with the knobs and buttons. If you want to really splash out, go for the 4x4 version which will eliminate the poor handling and will pull anything. Put a rope on the 4x4 and you could raise the Titanic!!! Ride quality is good but ...

Review of Ford Sierra 2.0

Ford Sierra 1.8

Advantages: Cheap, spacious, comfortable
Disadvantages: Economy, performance

Car I learnt to drive in and was a good little run about to get from A to B. Mine was the CVH GL model. It was a reliable car with 150,000 on the clock and still going strong before I took it off the road a couple of months ago. For an old car, the engine was quiet but it was not the most economical car. I was very easy going on the accelerator but it still managed to guzzle the fuel. I suppose it was good for a car 15 years ago but compared to ...

Review of Ford Sierra 1.8

sierra 2.3

Advantages: economic, comfortable, cheap in handling
Disadvantages: it doesn`t give any material status, loud inside

I wanted to buy before I had bought my 2.9 sierra a 2.3 sierra diesel, my friend had that car and that` s why I was conciderind 2.3 diesel. J had many times an opportunity to drive that car that`s why I can say something about it. First of all and maybe the most important thing is that it`s quite economi, it takes 6 liters of diesel oil /100 km while using it normaly. Second this diesel is really good, one can use it many years without any problems, ...
