1980 Ford Fairmont SVT review from North America
"An extremely indestructible car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first day we had it, the brakes failed.
General comments?
This car, other than the brakes failing, is absolutely indestructible. We have hit a lot of trees and rocks with the car. The engine has taken a beating, and still runs. The transmission has constantly been shifted into reverse to stop the car, and still works just fine.
