Ford Sierra Hatchback

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    5 for value if it wasn't for a very poor 20miles per gallon - Get about 300 miles from a full tank.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Low fuel economy, parts = cheap, avaliable from most scrap yards.

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Brilliant, the best car i've owned - Fast, handles like you would expect - easy to get the back out on most corners hence low fuel economy in the wet!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Try using the handbrake to slow down faster, I find that helps when trying to slow the beast down, accelerates quite well, pulling out of junctions in a hurry is always good fun.

    80's classic, what more can I say?

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    If you have the prehistoric lumber support that comes in the gear model (which I think is broken) then it is not very comfortable. Otherwise, the seats are pretty good, the booster seat is a classic which should be avaliable in every car!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Central locking, who wants to steal it?
