Ford Sierra Hatchback
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bought 5 years ago and owes me nothing!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Running cheap (except tyres). Most spares available scrap.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Goes well enough. Smooth and eats roads on longer journeys.

    Performance

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Reasonable MPG returns, but notice required for a quick getaway!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very, apart from a faulty wire on my starter motor.

    Not exactly a 'hot hatch', is it? But then you don't buy it for that. Capacious as a clown's pocket.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good shaped seats. Not bad and the upholstry/trim has stayed good for 172,000 miles.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Left unlocked plenty of times (worth more on insurance, don't you know!) - safe as houses.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Tip: Do the basic servicing yourself and be specific about what you want the garage to do.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems
