1981 Ford Granada L review from North America
"A good low-cost family or work car that's cheap to fix"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter, A/C, heater, radio and rust.
General comments?
Bought new, still keep it around as a backup. Has had no major problems and has been far less troublesome over the years than my wife's Hondas and Toyotas.
Comfortable, slow, okay gas mileage, and unfortunately starting to rust.
