Ford Sierra/Sapphire Reviews

I have a Sierra Saphire 1.8 LX - she will be 20 years old next year. My dad had this car for 12 years and we did try to sell it as it is in absolute pristine condition, for a mere £500 but you know what ebay and such are like - everyone wants something for nothing and was telling us they could get one for £175 - well it must be a roller skate or ...

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. ...

Please bear with me, this is my only my second ever car review (from a girl’s perspective, naturally). Don’t worry guys; I have tried to put some facts and figures in that may sway your opinions. NAME OF CAR: Ford Sierra 1.6 BACKGROUND: As my insurers do not provide a car if mine is unavailable – unless they are repairing ...

Last November,needing a car because my much despised Nissan Sunny despite running for months with a bodged carb had finally ground to a halt.I reluctantly put aside £60 for a replacement carb when my mate told me about a trade-in Sapphire that had recently come in.Now being a car fanatic that has had though I've never actually ...

I'm only 17, but sierra estates have been in my family for as long as I can remember. I think my dad has a soft spot for them... Not hard to see why, either. Our original sierra estate was an A reg, 1983 or something like that. It was a 1600cc base model, and to be honest, I wasn't too keen on it. That was until the 1.6 litre engine ...

After selling my Mondeo TD, I was after a car that would get me around from A to B cheaply, while still offer a decent specification. After hunting up and down the columns in the autotrader I decided that a high spec Sierra would do the trick.There aint many cars I havenot had and I liked my previous Sierra about 6 years ago. However the police ...

About 6 months ago i was in search for a new car but i didnt have much money. To my surprise i found a brand new looking sierra sapphire classic 1.6 for £800 in a garage foecourt. I bought it and i wasa surprised at the comfort and condition of it. It was a 1990 H registration but as i said it looked like new. Someone had definately ...

As the owner of three Sierras over the years, I have to say that the Ghia estate was the finest. I spent good money on one a few years ago, and found it to be quality and class. The 2.0i Ghia model was characteristic with it's roof rails and pepperpot alloy wheels, and the unmistakable ghia insignia. The ride was smooth and ...

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 ...

I had a Sierra 2.0GL Estate until about 3 months ago, when someone decided to run into the back of it! The car was a 1987 (D) model, and I had it 4 years. I bought it at auction as it had been broken into and the radio stolen and locks damaged. I wanted to get a cheaper car as I was sick of depreciation on £2000+ cars I had bought in the ...

I'm not a high flier as yet, so the cheap and road worthy rules apply. This is not so bad as the Ford Sierra models are both of these and more. The space is good for those large objects or the yearly clear out tip runs. I have a Sierra 1.8, it is reliable and the engine purs like a kitten! The main problem can be a bit of rusting ...

As a car trader I have driven many cars in the past. The Sierra is very reliable and parts are very cheap. If you want a cheap car that's reliable then this is the one. A lot of people tend to go for cheap Japanese cars but in my opinion these are expensive to maintain and not sturdy enough. If buying a Sierra then check that it ...

I have been driving seirras for about the last five years now, and I am crying that I have write in the past models page!! They are indestructable, drive for ever and will very rarely let you down. I had to change from a nice white hatchback to a sapphire about three years ago because the ford problem occured, yes it was nicked!! ...
