2003 Ford Falcon Futura review from Australia and New Zealand
"Nice, but could be better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
VCT Update needed for the first 1000k's and front brake rotors needed to be replaced. Boot leak, Plastic sorround on the drivers seat has cracked. Annoying loud whistle around 115 kph. Cruise control surging. Stuck fuel gauge and ran out of fuel.
General comments?
Looks much better than my old AU Series 3 Falcon Futura. It steers better goes better brakes better (when front disk brakes that don't need replacing again. But my AU was more reliable though. Although I am pretty happy with the car.
