Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4WD 4d (1993/K) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
You need to spend a hell of a lot more money to even get close to one of these!
Costs
Can be bad (19mpg with A/C on, and £46 per HT lead!), but most parts are just standard Sierra.

On the road
Driving
Serious FUN, though chassis now a little outdated. Not too stable on the brakes.
Performance
Mine's got 280BHP, which gives 165mph on the clock… Need I say more?

Living with it
Reliability
Been very good, apart from dodgy misfire, which was eventually traced to ignition amplifier.
Image
I think I look good! (In a retro kind of way).
Comfort
Leather recaros, Air con, CD, electric everything, the Bo***cks.

Security and Service
Security
Standard locks and alarm are pants. Get Cat1 alarm/immobiliser fitted.
Service
They get some parts confused, as there are several different variants.
