1983 Ford Granada Ghia X review from UK and Ireland
"Built like a tank and as solid as rock"
General comments?
Bought an 83A Granada for £900 in September 1992, previous car was a 77S Lada Riva which was quite good, but no fun.
The Granada was hardly fun, but it was comfortable, solid and reliable. It gave me a decade of loyal service before I sold it for £25 to a 17-year-old. It was perfect.
I now own a 97R Peugeot 406 1.8 which is a bit flimsy and not as good as the Granada.
The Granada was not the ultimate driving tool, but it gave sterling service for 10 years.
