1989 Ford Scorpio review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering jerky, window switches have gone wrong, gearbox failed, water pump failed, 2 batteries and a new exhaust in 4 years.
General comments?
Best car I've ever had! It still drives superbly although expensive on tyres and petrol. But I put up with that for the luxury.
Rear arches are starting to rot, but at 145,000 miles I expect the odd bit of body wear. Part of the family.
