1989 Ford Granada GL review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's seat upholstery badly worn after 68,000 miles. ABS brake warning light now comes on, indicating that advice should be taken from main agents. Apart from this, only normal replacements have been made of brake components, rear shock absorbers and exhaust system.
General comments?
This car is more suitable for long distance cruising at motorway speeds or higher (in Germany!) than round town, when it is noisier than petrol equivalents. The mpg of approx., 37 is achieved almost regardless of driving methods or distance travelled. The engine is not state of the art - modern engines in German cars are significantly quieter and much more economical.
