"Would never buy a Ford vehicle again"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Issue with gearbox and clutch. It has burnt out three clutches in under 12mths. With the last one being on it's way out in under 4 days.

General comments?

Ford need to have a serious look at the gearing of these vehicles. They are spec'd up to be a commercial vehicle yet you would struggle to carry a bag of cement up a hill.

Perhaps, one should look at the driver or operator of the vehicle, I currently own a BA falcon, Manual, in which is used to tow my 3 axle caravan around Australia, completed it without hassle. as for a bag of cement, try a large caravan full of luggage and boot, with 4 adults in the car ad a full tank of fuel.. I have no issues at 60 thousand ks..

Honestly what did you expect? Name a reliable and well built falcon?

Thought so...

Stop being a sheep and buy a decent Japanese car.

Well ford are a reliable vehicle! there are lots of reliable models that ford had built eg. xp, xy, xc, xd, xe, xf, ed, ef, el, au series 3, I currenly own a 1997 el it is the best! look ,one piece of advise to ford buyers always get the last model before the new models come out!! you will always get a lemon no matter car! a friend purchased a new aurion lotal lemon! I will alway buy ford because of the strong body!! great for towing and a good motor with a good heart, and they are so comfortable!
