1989 Ford Falcon EA review from Australia and New Zealand

"Cheap reliable and comfortable car with lot's of grunt"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Injectors blocked up, because I let the fuel run too low. That's all engine wise.

Front left spring was snapped when I got it and the left rear door and guard was dented in.

Dash is cracked, easily hidden with a dash mat.

Drivers side window winders tight. I put soap in the tracks. fixed it.

General comments?

Insane power compared to my previous car, which I still have and is a HQ Kingswood with a 202 and an Aussie 4 speed and Salisbury V8 Diff.

Uses lots of fuel when you hammer it or go above 100km/h. doesn't worry me though because I have gas, very cheap to run.

Heater and air-con is awsome, but aircon makes the temp go up a bit.

Lays sick burnouts when turning. but won't do stand stills for some reason.

I lost control a couple of times from flooring it around 90 degree corners, did a awesome drift once too.

Boots up to 180km/h with ease, will do about 210-220 if pushed.

I've driven a VN and it rides nothing like my EA. I think EA's are the most comfortable in it's time.

Very cheap to buy and very reliable. I recommened an EA for any P-plater.
