For a long time possession your SIERRA needs proper paint job Dippy. Paint has cracked from the base surface.

Great review pal.

Good Review, covers all the topics, i was looking for. The thing bothering me is the low average (kmpl) and inconvenience to elders for getting in & out of the vehicle... Otherwise, the rest of the things are quite positive..

lovely car dippy...always wanted to own a sierra...kept trying to convince my parents to get one just for fun...i hear you can get a turbo for under a lak...

does anyone have any idea on the specs of the 4x4 sierra...i didnt even know there was one until i read this thread...

Its identical to the regular turbo sierra except for a Borg Warner shift on the fly 4x4 (like the Safari).

this review brings back memories of my sierra turbo , bullying the cabbies and the ricks all thanks to the metal bumper , the marching noise of the engine aaaahhhhhhhhhh !

nice review dippy , trust me try and keep it ( rather possess it ) for as long as you can as i've been through the whole process of letting go !

Hey Dippy brings back sweet memories. I had a TATA Estate of the same color. Eventhough I wanted a Sierra, dad purchased the estate. But nonetheless it was a very good vehicle.
Even i had the same sort of problems over the color of the car.

Dippy · 10th June 2005, 10:08

An update:

The car has been given a paint job. Kept the same shade though. She shines now

great review dippy..

Well since its got painted please post some pics.. we all would like to see..

artofzen · 10th June 2005, 10:43

We had a sierra ,white one at that.But had to sell it 80000 K,thats when all the sierras start showing up age ,and an engine rehaul is the best cure.

sunith · 23rd January 2006, 09:15

was thinkin of buying a turbo 4WD sierra.
how much should we ideally pay for such a vehicle
assuming i need to perform an engine overhaul
....it will be atleast 7 years old now right??

Dippy · 23rd January 2006, 10:38

4WD Sierras will be really hard to find since they came out just before Sierra production stopped. Though if you come across one, you should get a good deal since Sierras go for a song

Steeroid · 23rd January 2006, 11:11

Very emotional review there, Dippy. You sure love your Sierra.

Rs.40,000/- gets you a gull-wing rear door done by Color World in Kerala. Quite a few people have had it done and the rear becomes much more usable.

Dippy · 23rd January 2006, 11:20

I agree Steeroid . Even in Mumbai there are people who have done similar things or added two extra doors but then the Sierra loses its character doesnt it?
