1997 Ford Scorpio Ghia review from Netherlands
"Luxurious and great value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The steering fluid line had a leak.
The air-conditioning was not fully charged.
General comments?
This is not a fast car with the automatic in economy mode. Switched into sports-mode it's a whole lot better. It lacks the V6 great that I like.
The interior is still very good after 135.000 km. No rattles.
The handling is more direct in comparison to my previous 1993 Scorpio. Great for Autobahn & winding roads.
