1981 Ford Falcon XD review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very good Family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None as yet.
General comments?
The car is very good for it's age.
It was one of the best sedans of it's age.
The first car in Australia to have plastic bumpers and fuel tank.
It has not eaten the fuel like I thought, it is very good with fuel compared to a lot of other cars out there today.
It has the go for when you need it.
But I don't like the front seats, they do not have the comfort I like.
The car has a lot of space, unlike other cars of that year.
It is very reliable.
The car has:
91kw with 305 nm of torque.
