The sierra made what ford is now FFS!! Sierra is the coolest car on the earth GO f*** FERRARIS etc get a cosworth. The sound of a cosworth engine is more sweeter than a horny girls voice

Sierra has to be one of the best cars you can buy. i will never buy a new car because they are unreliable, expensive and basterds to work on. i have just bought a 87 2.0 pinto sapphire for £450. you cant go wrong!

My first ever car in 1995. A diamond white A' reg- 1.3 base model! Wrote off in a feild in 1997. The struts that held the boot up had a habit of failing and would chomp down on you like a damn shark! Lol..

R.I.P. old girl.

@retrowagen1234 if it weren't for the Taurus, Ford would've gone bankrupt, once again, what did the Sierra do?

[retrowagen1234]

@kernals12 Pretty much the same for the UK ford market. Oh and i think your a little off with your product comparisons. At the time of the sierra , Vauxhalls equivilent would have been the Carlton. Also RWD.

I also dont think the TAURUS revolutionised anything. Maybe it woke detroit up and the Us market to what could be done. But over this side of the pond, People allready had FWD , IRS , EFI , and ABS...

[kernals12]

@retrowagen1234 maybe the leaf springs went a bit too far, but MOST models didn't fuel injection and it was rear wheel drive while it's competition from Vauxhall was front wheel drive. And the Taurus didn't have a V8, It had modern suspension, which gave it a reputation for being Fun to Drive, ALL models, had EFI, and that car not only saved a nearly bankrupt Ford and revitalized Detroit, it revolutionized how cars were designed and built forever, what did the Sierra do? Huh?

[retrowagen1234]

@kernals12 Solid axle? Sierra is IRS... the XR4 had bosch K-JET injection, Oh and front wheel drive is nothing to do with sophistocation. Its about making a compact easy to build unit.

Funny how you say the american car was better, Even if that was correct , American stuff was using live rear ends and leaf springs, Stupid strangled v8s and horrid build quality way into the late 90's.

Im not being anti american either.I grew up with my dad owning a 51 pontiac, So i do like american cars

Today there seems to be more late model Tempos on the road than Contours on the road in the states, I bet there are more late Sierras than Early Mondeos in Europe

[kernals12]

Oh and the American car was actually more sophisticated, because it had front-wheel-drive, electronic fuel injection, and MacPherson strut suspension, while you guys were stuck with the Rear wheel drive, carburetted, solid axle sierra
