1992 Ford Scorpio GLi review from Netherlands

Small rust spots on rear wheel arches. Seems to be a common problem for this model.

For a car this age (12 years old) it is in remarkably good shape. The interior looks like new. There are no rattles or squeaks.

Seats are very comfortable. I drove it for 12 hours straight and did not even feel tired. Backseats are very roomy, and easily hold three adults.

The engine is fantastic! It competes easily with new cars on the motorway, and it reaches 200 km/h (were allowed, like in Germany) at only 4500 rpm.

Even after 12 years and 224000 Km it's still solid. Nothing leaks, no oil consumption in between changes, brakes on the spot if needed.

Luxury sedan with electric everything, sunroof, computer, excellent speakers, heated front and rear windshield, heated electric side mirrors, etc. And all this for 500 euros.

The only downside is the gas consumption. On average 9 liters per 100 Km on motorway, and a staggering 15 liters per 100 km for urban driving. But no complaints here. You buy a V6, you have to expect that. Besides, you actually save money with this car since there are no mechanic bills to pay.

The way it's running I expect this car to go at least another 100000 Km. It seems that Ford does know how to make high quality vehicles. Too bad they didn't keep it up in the other models.

Conclusion: if you are in the market for a used car, get a Scorpio. Beats anything else.
