2005 Ford Falcon BA mark 2 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Would never buy a Ford vehicle again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Issue with gearbox and clutch. It has burnt out three clutches in under 12mths. With the last one being on it's way out in under 4 days.
General comments?
Ford need to have a serious look at the gearing of these vehicles. They are spec'd up to be a commercial vehicle yet you would struggle to carry a bag of cement up a hill.
