1987 Ford Falcon xf GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"My Ford kicks ass"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left door handle broke.
Starter motor is burnt out (fixed).
Paint needs a little work.
General comments?
This car has a lot of power. It's light on fuel, is powered by 3 speed auto, and the 3.5L engine has enough to overpower a Commodore.
My last car was a Commodore SLE Wagon, and it had a 4 speed manual. It smoked me off the start, but I caught him in the end.
