2004 Ford Territory TX review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best Ford produced in recent years with some state of the art design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a bit of a list; Coolant leak at rear of water pump, oil leak from sump gasket, squeak from left front side on take off, car pulled left, door trim damaged, window would not wind up and brakes grinding when cold.
General comments?
I am impressed with the power, handling, comfort, and overall performance. The fuel economy is becoming a real issue with prices on the increase (we get 13.4 to 14.7l/100km around town and got 11.4l/100km on a trip) it costs us $80 a week to run this car and we get about 500 to 560km per tank. Obviously we have had some dramas with repairs, but the car is still a superb vehicle to drive. The interior design is excellent, but quality could be better. We have now done over 21,000km since November 04. I probably would buy another one when you look at what else is out there.
