1994 Ford Granada Scorpio review from UK and Ireland
"Very cheap executive car with superb performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tyre's at the front have worn badly, I suspect tracking or worn bushes, I have always had these problems with Granadas, after you change bushes and arms all is well.
Gear box creeps at tick over, but nothing too much to worry about.
General comments?
Performance is fantastic, plenty of power and so smooth, this is the 3rd Granada I have owned. Previous were 2.0lt DOHC Ghia 9/10 (lacking in power on occasions) and a 2.8lt 4X4 8/10 (great handling if the 4x4 systems work 100%).
As 1994 was the last year the Granada Scorpio was produced, I will have to look at the goggle eye'ed Scorpio Ultima as a replacement :-(
