2003 Ford Falcon XT Sports review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great looking car with performance, handling and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Car did stall once when I first got it, I attributed this to running the engine in. The engine is fine now and is running like it should.
General comments?
Although the car weighs a fair bit (1700kg) it never feels like it does.
The performance from the 182kw engine and the handling from the rear sports susepnsion make the car hold the road and accelerate very quickly.
Interior is spacious and the controls are readily available except for maybe the positioning of the de-mister controls.
Boot is very large and seats fold down for even more room if required.
I find the seats very comfortable for long drives as well as the trip to the shops.
The car has a sporty aggressive stance and looks great.
