1990 Ford Falcon EA GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car for their price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has had a timing chain rattle since I have owned it, Which would have been repaired if it wasn't for a dodgy mechanic.
General comments?
Extremely comfortable and economical for its size. Very smooth engine and good power delivery. Cooling system must be well maintained to avoid a blown head gasket.
