1998 Ford Scorpio ultima review from UK and Ireland
"Good value realible exective car for family car money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have not yet had any faults with this vehicle apart from the usual wear and tear i, e tyres.
General comments?
I'm very pleased with this car the looks of the car is what puts most people off, but once you have had one for a few months you grow to kinda like it if you after a cheap car that's big comfy and reliable then the scorpio is for you the 2.3 which I have is the best all rounder performance is good for car of its size and mpg if you take it steady and crusie a long at 70mph it will return 30mpg its at home on a motor way and you feel at home to the seats are really comfy full leather heated and adjusted electricly the steering colum move both reach and rake so any one can find a good driving postion if you are planning on buying one of these cars go for the 2.3 dohc 16v and ultima spec you get all above plus automatic climite control/ A/C /heated seats/ full leather/ electric tilt slide sunroof/ crusie control/ cd changer/ and much more there is all so a big following on the net http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/ is about the best site I've ever seen for a car and tells you every thing you would ever want to no about the car.
