1995 Ford Fairmont Ef wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great first car, just look after it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When purchased the car it needed new head gasket as is the case with a lot of e-series falcons, however this was more to the previous owner not taking the best care.
Once that was fixed slight idol solinoid issue that was repaired easily. since the car has run beautifully.
General comments?
It is comfortable smooth (for its age) and has ample performance for the quick stuff and towing.
I have added myself full 2.5inch exhaust and extracors at parts cost of about $550. The engine now has more kick and a great note.
The cars trans started out leaving me a bit uneasy, however with a trans fluid change is running as smooth as it did the day it was built.
I will agree I have been lucky and that there are bad eggs out there, but as a whole the car has treated me well.
My only really bad comment is on 2 issues, firstly I drive a wagon and must say the rear ride hight is far to great over the front end. secondly fuel consumption can be a little high, when compared to the Vr of that era, however I say it is a measly fee for a much more smooth refined vehicle.
