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, many people say that it is much better then 1.8td.

Firstly , let me apologise. Please don't expect a technical review from me, this is written from a mum's point of view and not of Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear.
I am a bit of a closet Ford fan. I have owned an escort popular, an XR3, a cabriolet, and a Sierra2.0 Ghia. When the children came along it was to expand our car capacity so we bought our first Galaxy.
I owned my 1997 Galaxy since almost new and even though it had only reached 50,000 on the clock, we thought it was time to trade up and change to a diesel engine.
I wasn't expecting to get a brand new car but by chance we did. It was at the cost of no holiday and no more savings in our account but at least I've got a good set of wheels that hopefully will not let me down on my various trips down the M3.
The Ghia version gives you a little added extra but don ...
