1995 Ford Scorpio Ultima review from UK and Ireland
"Phenomenal. Mind blowing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear Brake Discs replaced as pads had not been replaced by previous owner.
Apart from that, just routine service items.
I understand that certain Scorpio Ultima owners find lots of electrical faults. My advice is don't go fiddling with the OBD system, as you will create and then 'find' problems which probably aren't there in the first place.
Just drive the car!! Service it regularly, and enjoy.
General comments?
This has to be the most luxurious car on the road.
It gets admiring glances wherever I go.
When it was first introduced the styling was considered weird, but now, in 2006 it fits in very well indeed.
Where else can you buy a £33.000 car for under £1000.
The car has every conceivable extra with self dimming interior mirror, A/C, wing mirror dip on reverse, electric heated seats with memory positioning, floorwell lighting and under door lighting to illuminate the pavement.
Interior is the most comfortable and impressive I have ever seen. Incredible!! Go get one"!!
