Heated front Screen faulty
Fuel cut off loom cracked
Faulty temperature gauge
Steaming up of windows
Noisy change of gear
Rust in both wheel arches
Faulty climate control panel
Misalignment of the back axle, causing very slight crabbing effect going down the road. i.e. steering wheel not centre when going straight ahead even after many set ups.
This car unfortunately did prove very unreliable for me. All of the faults were quite small on their own however after having the car a couple of weeks more and more came to light. A big improvement on handling from the old Granada, but unfortunately not on reliability. I know you cannot really comment unless you have had a car from new, its just I thought a car with a full service history and such low mileage what appears in very good condition on top should be a lot more reliable. This car really has put me off big fords. It is a real shame though because if you want this sort of luxury now, you do have to go to the premium brands such as bmw, mercedes etc.
I wrote this review originally and since owning an omega I really wish I had all the problems sorted because the scorpio is ten times the car the omega is!
I have another scorpio now and its fantastic. 65k from new with full ford history. The one I had before must have been clocked or something because this one drives like a new car!
Had my Ultima 3 years now. Comfortable, reliable and effortless to drive (auto). However, heavy on fuel, starting to get some rust and eating front ball joints and these cost over £130 from Ford dealers. Tried cheap tyres and they wore rapidly, went back to Continentals and the difference and probably economy much better.
