1998 Ford Scorpio Ultima review from UK and Ireland
"A Luxurious Bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning compressor
Front discs changed.
General comments?
I'm very pleased with the car in general, the Mondeo had some toys, but not near as much as this, it comes fully loaded with fully adjustable electric seats driver and passenger, twin airbags, fully auto climate control, cruise control and simple, but effective auto dimming rear view mirror. As far as TOYS go this machine is loaded, for the same spec in BMW or Merc you pay 4 times the price. On long journeys the cars a dream, stick on CC and sit back trying not to forget to steer as you are laveshed up by the big arm chair type leather heated seats, the car is amazing. It is a pitty Ford have stopped making big cruisers like the scorpio, although I beleive they are planning a new scorpio that looks a bit like a Audi A8.
