Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4d (1989/F) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Hold their money really well, if it's in a good condition.
Costs
Very exspensive car to keep, 20 odd miles to the gallon and all service parts are costly.

On the road
Driving
Harsh drive and very sketchy, but incredibly fast, a proper drivers car.
Performance
Very fun car to drive, most are modified to "stage 1" now and pull 5 second 0 to 60s
-
Living with it
Reliability
Expect big money problems at around 80,000 miles from the engine & turbo. The rest of the car seems to last forever.
Image
Bit of a racey image! Clean ones all turn heads, people remember them from motorsport in the 80s/ early 90s
Comfort
Recaro seats hold you in and Ghia spec inside, but sports suspention gives a rough ride.

Security and Service
Security
Standard no security what so ever just standard Sierra locks. Advise a cat1 alarm and don't park it anywhere dark.
Service
Helpfull when ordering parts.
