Ford Sierra Sapphire 2.0i GLX 4d (1991/J) Owner Review

Economy
Value
You've really got to know these cars inside and out for what you are looking for, but in my opinion its a right pocket rocket with lots of potential performance behind it.
Costs
I bought mine at a comfortable 250 which id say is average as you can catch hold of one of these particular models in and around the £800 mark that's for your tidy mint condition models and as with mine it was in average condition.

On the road
Driving
Smooth, comfortable and very reliable an absolute bargain to buy.
Performance
Excellent performance, I recorded speed of 110 in 3rd and still wanted more.

Living with it
Reliability
With so many parts available its easy to service and maintain.
Image
Although old in looks I prefer the slightly retro image not to modern not to old, with mine I'm replicating a cosworth lookalike out of my car.
Comfort
With a little tlc or uprated suspension etc it can be a luxury liner.

Security and Service
Security
Very poor standard, would recommend de-locking and a thatcham approved security device fitted.
Service
From what I've seen in this company I definitely live by their saying ''designed for living, engineered to last'' always.
