2003 Ford Falcon GT-P review from Australia and New Zealand
"The P stands for problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil leaks, Water leaks, High oil consumption (engine needed to be rebuilt by FPV). I know how some Gen 3 owners feel now. throttle switch & position sensor need to be fixed/replaced. Paint finish has got to be the worst I have seen in a long time. Noise as hell gearbox, Wheel vibration. And oh so noisy brakes!. Some of the problems has been fixed.
General comments?
Great looks and great sound from the engine. But so damn problematic.
