A good car to trust on..
Lots of trouble with this car, almost everything has gone wrong and it has now starting to rust!
It's a very reliable car, it starts every morning and has never stopped.
I don't want to blame the producer for all the faults, most of the problems are caused by earlier owners, that has not treated the car right.

Very fast, fun, reliable car
Interior trim rattles due to firm sports suspension.
Usual wear and tear.
Goes like a rocket.
Reliable, refined, solid.
Quite comfortable for such firm suspension (good seats).
Thirsty.
Quite expensive insurance, but not bad for such a high performance vehicle.
No rust. Well made.
Fun handling (lots of oversteer).

A friend of mine had one of these. Loved it (so did we!). Fast, pretty, reliable, sounded lovely and great fun handling (sideways on demand!)
The only major problem was fuel consumption - you can get it into the low teens without too much trouble.
Being a female racer I love the look and the feel of the car. Unfortunately the cost to repair it in New Zealand is rather high. No rust just lots of grunt.
Fast, refined, comfortable, reliable, solid old motor
Nothing except usual wear and tear. Very good for an oldie.
Fast, well equipped, comfortable, refined, solid, no rust. Good motorway cruiser, nimble handling, a bit thirsty. Shows up boy racers in their hot hatches at the lights.

A good vehicle for daily driving
Rust on the top of rear springs. This seems to be usual in older Sierras.
Also the engine has a very bad sound, but that's OK as long as the engine runs.
Nice car, especially when the price was quite low when I bought it. Well, the performance is quite lame with the 1.6 "Taunus" engine, but I have a 2.0 EFI engine waiting in the back of the garage. Maybe some day...
By the way, if you wonder about the model "Laser", I don't know if it was on the lists in other countries, it has power windows OR electric door locks, GL type seats, door panels, body coloured mirrors and such.

Brilliant car.
Near Cosworth performance but without the cost and maintenance.
