1985 Ford Falcon XF review from Australia and New Zealand
"A beefy reliable Tank"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My back rear brake is weeping brake fluid and has turned a darker color.
The seats felt limp.
General comments?
I bought this as my first car, I'm on my P's and am 17. I don't have much experience with cars, but this car performed very well.
When I first started up the engine, it had a new exhaust system installed and it sounded beefy and on the high revs it sounded like a V8.
The model I own does not have LSD (Limited Slip Differential) so it tends to do wheelies on corners all the time.
Having a 4.1 engine this car is scary on the wet, as it shoots off every single turn, it also does the same thing on a gravel road.
Watch out all you mini coopers out there as this car might go monster trucking on you.
