1988 Ford Telstar Ghia review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good overall everyday driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Central vent oscillator unit has failed.
Air-con has suddenly stopped going cold, only goes cool now.
Air cleaning unit no longer cleans the air and the fan is noisy.
Slight rust in the front wheel well.
General comments?
Car starts first try every time.
Plenty of power from the Injected 1.8L engine.
Interior VERY plush, lots of cushioning on the seats and the seats are wider than normal.
Lots of small compartments to put things in.
