Ford Sierra 2,0 iS -look

4/05/2025

My third Ford was a Ford Sierra similar to the one in the picture above. It was a 2.0 iS -look. So not a real iS model, but only the visible parts were tuned to look like an iS model. The engine was a 2.0 with a carburetor.

I really liked the car. It was sturdy and spacious and it didn't use as much fuel as you always hear people say. It smelled a little like oil, but it subsided a bit when I changed the rubber on the valve stems. I think the nice smell of oil was quite common in Fords at that time :)

I owned it from 1998 to 2001, if I remember correctly. Before that I had a tuned Nissan Cherry. Then I was without a car for a long time. I remember that maybe the Citroen BX would have been the next car after this Sierra...
