1993 Ford Falcon EBII review from Australia and New Zealand
"It's no limousine, but who cares?!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The accessories relay has failed once.
Engine cut out without warning.
General comments?
This car was bought at a car yard in a school play ground for $5000.
It was fitted with a factory cruise control and that sealed the deal.
This is the first Ford I have owned and it was cheap to buy, has been cheap and reliable to run.
The Ford dealer I take it to for services offer good service although I prefer my mechanic because at Ford you don't get to talk to the person who fixed you car. Apart from that they've been fine.
Although the build quality is questionable, reliability is comparable to the Toyota's I have owned and anyone who has owned a Corolla will know that that's a big call.
These cars are a better shape that the AU series because the back is squarer which makes it easier for adults to get into the back seats without banging their heads on the roof and the EB-II has a flat floor in the boot. Also more economical on fuel that BA model.
The air conditioner has rear vents and is very effective which is a must in Australia.
