1994 Ford Falcon ED GLI from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

The only thing since I've had the car, that has cost me, is a hole in the muffler at 280,000.

Engine is still in original conditions. (no rebuilds yet)

I'm very happy with my first car. I used to be a Holden fan, but I needed a car quickly, and the only car within my budget and area, was the ford. So I made the purchase, and NOT regretting yet.

The car has been 'Flogged' pretty much everyday since purchase. It has 2 15" subs in the back, so I usually take it out at night and have fun at the traffic lights, although I do a lot of long distance travel as well.

The only thing I don't like about this car, is that it rattles to much on the outside when you 'pump' up the subs. Its nothing to worry about, it just bothers me when you sit at the traffic lights and people may here it.

The 4.0 liter engine has no trouble in hilly area, and to me, has a lot more power then the AU models. What has Ford done with that?

Taking off in this car is excellent. Gear ratio's are spot on. The car tends to have the most kick back power when traveling between 0-60 and 80-130.

In comparison, this car has a lot more power than my mates VT and VS. VN's and VP's are an easy target when it comes to taking off.

Ford have made a superb model, and I can ensure you, 1 more happy customer!

I read every review regarding the ED and EF Falcon of which I am in the market for.

I will be purchasing an automatic as the Mrs can't drive a manual.

Apparently the Automatic transmission is a bit suspect under load for example towing or giving the old girl a bit of a thrashing.

What is your opinion on this.

Get an automatic transmission oil cooler installed and you will be towing trucks and should have no probs

Just brought an ED GLi Falcon. Love it, can take VR and VTs on. My mate's EL is even better. Blows away AUs.

I have a 1993 ED Fairmont, work done to engine, csl camshaft, mock motorsport headers, bigger injectors, broadband intake manifold, K and N filter. Trans has a shift improver kit. This car absolutely walks all over Holdens. Really fun to drive.
