2005 Ford Falcon Futura review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had any problems with the car, other than minor clunks in the suspension when turning slowly or cold.
General comments?
This Falcon is very nice, comfortable, and everything like the A/C, stereo, power windows, gearbox all work very well.
I think it's great and cheap, with heaps of power (182kw), but watch out because this car has no traction control and it can fishtail very badly and very unexpectedly in the wet.
