2005 Ford Falcon MA MkII review from Australia and New Zealand
"Would NOT buy another FORD"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had the car for about a month. It is an ex-government fleet vehicle, fully serviced. The engine blew up (dropped a conrod that flew out the side of the sump) with < 26,000km. Still awaiting a response from Ford, as to whether they will honour the warranty.
General comments?
The car in general is good - but the engine reliability...
