Advantages: Comfortable, reliable, stable, durable

Disadvantages: consumption, often oil problems, EFI problems

Well, I have Ford Sierra 2.0i for about a year now. It's the best car I've ever driven, and I've changed some. It runs smoothly on any surface. It's a little bulky, so you may need some time to learn how to park it or make sharp turns. I went 800km in one run (no stops unless on red traffic lights and pay tolls), and came out fresh as from bed. Very comfortable car, even for five people and lots of baggage. It let me down only once, when clutch broke down. And even then I drove it for 150km while changing gears without clutch, with no damage to gearbox. The car is very stable in turns, unless you are trying to turn at 70km/h on ice . . . It spends some more fuel, but I now drive it on natural gas and waste about 8-9l per 100km of natural gas on a freeway (aprox 120km/h) and about 20l of natural gas (about 8l of unleaded) per 100km of gas in city. Some oil leakage also is a problem (I pour 1l of oil aprox at every 1000km). And venture meter has a tendancy to blow when starting car in winter on natural gas with full throttle . . .


Well, there is my two cents on this car, which at any case I recommend to anyone who needs good family car, and/or durable "packing mule" . . .

Summary: Good family car at bargain price
