1993 Ford Falcon EB II Station wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Don't under estimate the power of a wagon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major yet.
Although the rear wiper motor was burnt out when I got it, and I haven't fixed it Yet. Also the rear tyre has rubbed a hole in the exhaust. And one night it shredded the fan belt.
General comments?
Goes surprisingly hard for a wagon. I had a drag with my mate in his ED XR6 (auto) and he only beat me by one and a half car lengths. I also dragged another mate in his XG 5 speed Ute and he only beat me by about three quarters of a car length.
It doesn't smoke up real easy at the moment as it has an LSD with chunky as 15 inch 215 bridgestone potenzas.
It's a lot better than my previous car which was an EA CFI 3 spd on gas. Although the EA had a gruntier engine sound.
The wagon is good for going to parties because you just throw a mattress in the back and it's comfy as.
