1996 Ford Scorpio Ghia review from Netherlands
"Cheap, slurpy, comfy ugly cruiser!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning manifold blew, (wear) due to contact with the body. It's located at the lower end near the radiator were the manifold curves backwards. Be aware, I've seen this on others as well! (43 euro's)
Electrical failure, too many gadgets. Always something faulty. It just never performs at 100%.
General comments?
Smooth ride, great seats (they had to put down a hurdle).
Climate control, cruise control, ABS, double airbags, 1500 kilo's: pretty secure!
12 valves are not impressive, all-tough drink a lot. At €1.47 a liter it's not funny.
