1987 Ford Falcon XF Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable car that is ideal for a first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major. Transmission mount and a new windscreen.
The dash digital instruments play up sometimes.. but settle down after a while.
Minor rust in door pillars. Has original factory paint but is faded.
Carby became very thirsty.. needed a clean and a kit.
General comments?
Very reliable and easy to repair and work on.
Roomy and spacious interior.
Parts are easy and cheap.
Loads of them around for spares.
