1994 Ford Telstar GLE review from South Africa
"Excellent distance car, good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner failed at 120 000 km.
Plastic drinks holder cover broke at 70 000km.
Intermittent central locking fault.
In very heavy downpours water gets into the inlet system and the engine runs rough for a few days.
General comments?
An extremely comfortable car, especially for long distance.
Interior is pleasant with relatively few rattles or squeaks.
Engine superb, 160 000 km, touch wood no problems. Uses no oil at all.
Auto box is good, but tends to change down inconsistently.
Good performance, but not breath taking.
