1996 Ford Falcon EFII Futura review from Australia and New Zealand
"Full size family transport"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Twice I've had to replace the head gasket, firstly at 90,000klm which was due to one of the cylinder head bolts shearing off, and again at 150,000klm when another cylinder head bolt came loose.
I've had to replace the ignition leads every 50,000klm due to excessive wear and repeated failure.
Parts replaced due to the cars age include radiator, power steering pump, fuel pump, brake rotors and the exhaust.
General comments?
Still the best looking Falcon ever made.
Great towing ability.
Did I mention it was a good looking car?
