1996 Ford Falcon EF series 2 review from Australia and New Zealand
"This car has been nothing but a pleasure to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 60 000km the radiator developed a slow leak which I was able to repair myself at low cost.
The strut which keeps the boot open had to be replaced shortly after buying the car.
General comments?
The car still looks as good today as the day I bought it.
I have made many changes to the car, with improved lowered suspension, cam shaft upgrade and performance exhaust and air filter fitted.
The car drives and handles very well and performs very strongly for a six cylinder. The upgrades give the falcon all the power I need while driving on the highway, at no increased cost to the fuel economy.
