1981 Ford Corcel II review from Uruguay
"A good first car for younger people, durable and not expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overheating.
Clutch worn out.
Rust.
High oil consumption.
General comments?
A comfortable two door sedan, with a deep trunk, low on fuel and power.
I had another from the same year with the 1.6 engine and 5 speed, was much better.
Lighter steering than the 1.6 due to skinny tires and lighter front end.
Poor ventilation and defogger.
Cheap looking fit and finish inside.
Very durable car.
