Advantages: Loves motorway driving, no trouble

Disadvantages: Bodywork tends to rust

I have had my F-reg Ford Sierra (1.8 LX) for just under 2 years now, passed on from my dad. Dad serviced the car at least once a year and it really shows. I got some stick for having my "cheesy salesman's" car as I am a student but I don't care! The car had done about 80 000 thousand miles when I got it (now it's almost 120 000) but despite that I have never had a day's trouble with it. Despite being old and having an automatic choke it always starts and loves motorway driving, which is good as I mostly use the car for going away at weekends etc rather than in-town driving. Living in Bristol means that you can't drive much round town anyway! The central locking system and all electrics still work even after 12 years and the car still has a luxurious feel.

The only criticism of the car is that the bodywork does tend to rust. However if you are looking for a good, cheap large second hard car, I would very much recommend the Sierra, it is a pleasure to drive and lasts well.
