1989 Ford Sierra CL 2.0

Summary:

Best European cheap car

Faults:

Gearbox broke, twice. First the turbine, then the seals.

Engine leaked oil.

General Comments:

It was a cheap and simple car that was easy to maintain, and pretty good to drive, but had no power steering or any other "luxury".

1987 Ford Sierra CL 2.0

Summary:

Fantastic performance and handling

Faults:

My engine began taking oil and head gasket blew at 210000 km.

Valve gaskets replaced at 180000 km.

Intake and exhaust gaskets been replaced at 150000km.

I replaced the engine at 210000 km.

General Comments:

When I replaced the engine, I put 2,0 instead of old, what was 1,8 litres. After that it is a great car.

It runs great and 200km/h is not a problem with that car.

Seats are comfortable and shape of the car is great, just like modern cars.

It has an exellent handling.

I tuned up the engine a little and has more power than it needs, it speeds up great.

Fantastic car.
