1990 Ford Scorpio review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heated drivers seat failed (heated bit only).
Front discs warped, rear o/s caliper failed (locked on!)
Electric window switch bulbs.
First exhaust lasted 83,000 miles!
Rear electric seat motor only works intermittently.
TCA bushes perished.
General comments?
An extremely reliable car, just a few niggles with the brakes.
Interior very luxurious and all electric gadgets have been perfectly reliable apart from rear seat. A brilliant motorway cruiser but around town ride a little lumpy. Fuel consumption excellent considering engine size. I wish power steering was a lot lighter, doesn't feel like it has any.
