1984 Ford Meteor GB review from Australia and New Zealand
"Super Cheap Auto!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. I haven't had any problems with the car. My Grandfather owned the car before me and he was a Mechanical Engineer, therefore the car is close to showroom condition.
General comments?
The motor takes too long to warm-up in the morning, particularly colder mornings.
The engines a bit sluggish and the automatic gearbox is extremely poorly geared. A 5sp manual would be so much better!
