1992 Ford Scorpio review from UK and Ireland
"Total luxury for peanuts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust is starting to go and some of the fairing is starting to hang a little on the front offside.
General comments?
Total quality machine, I was thinking about getting a Jaguar 4.2 but as I do most of my driving in and around London, figured it wasn't worth the petrol.
As far as comfort goes, I can't fault it. Leather seats, excellent air-con, a switch/gadget for everything and all of it works. Although this has been well looked after (FSH, and I mean full).
Took me a while to get used to having wheels that were aligned and power steering that worked when compared to the knackered Sierra.
Fuel consumption isn't that bad, on the motorway at least, it cost me about £20-£25 to get to the far end of Cornwall from South London. Around town it is a bit of a dog though.
