1986 Ford Fairmont XF review from Australia and New Zealand
"A exceptional cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been completely trouble free.
General comments?
This is the second Fairmont I've owned.
My previous Fairmont was an '86 XF.
I have found this car to be very reliable in terms of cold starting, driving etc.
In terms of space and comfort, I would give ten out of ten on both.
I've also found when cruising around town, engine and road noise are almost inaudible.
In summary, the XF Fairmont is reasonably powerfull, very roomy, comfortable and is an all-round beutifull car.
I also love the exhaust note, the sound of power.
