G-MANN 2006-07-13 14:24	What was with the vinyl rooves these thing had? My dad had a Mk5 version (very similar to this) years ago, he actually claims this was the most reliable car he's ever had, and I like it's funny how it gave him less trouble than cars he's had that were made decades later. -- Last edit: 2006-07-13 14:25:06

G-MANN 2006-08-16 14:31	I just don't get how such an old design could be more realiable than newer one, especially in the case of the Sierra that succeeded it. Don't car makers learn anything from experience?

Elstro1988 2007-07-19 00:02	BTW if you look in the background whenever it parks up (and backfires usually) outside Hyacinth's house, there is a dark yellow version of the Mk4 Cortina parked on the driveway in immaculate condition! in fact you can see it in that 'sparks' photo above!
