Ford Granada/Scorpio Reviews

I have had 3 Ford Granada 2 litre hatchbacks - one 1989 Ghia, one 1990 GL and one 1994 Scorpio. Purchased each very cheaply (about 1150 pounds each, all bought with about 90,000 miles on). I keep them for about 2 years and then sell them for scrap! These cars are huge and give loads of value for money. However, they're not the most reliable ...  Read the complete review

I must first state that I am no mechanical genius, I dont understand gear ratios and torque, so this opinion may be a bit light weight for those of you who really do understand the mysterious world of car mechanics. I had my Scorpio for 4 glorious years. We met first when my VW estate died following an altercation with a lamp post. ...  Read the complete review

Well here I am again, yet another car opinion. This time I am venturing into the world of the Ford!, make the most of it, not often you will find me in with the likes of Ford. Now I am going to try and write this opinion and avoid being biased due to my general dislike of Fords, and give the old Scorpio a fair trial. I will spare you the ...  Read the complete review

Having spent too much money getting my old Capri shiny and rust free, I then got scared about having to leave the thing outside, open to the effects of vandals, the weather, and the gritting lorry that seem to enjoy pebble dashing it at least three times every night throughout the winter. So I started to keep an eye out for something else to ...  Read the complete review

I bought an M Reg Scorpio in April 2000 for £5,300. Without doubt it was the worst and most expensive vehicle I have ever owned which was amazing considering I have had 27 cars previously. The following things were either wrong or never worked :- Headlights, gearbox, steering, heated seat, heated front window, cigar lighters , ...  Read the complete review

About 2 months ago I happened to be looking at the trade-ins behind a local garage and came accross a 1990 Scorpio saloon 2.0 auto, in silver. It was a very hansome looking car with black leather interior, every electric extra, superb stereo system, and only 93,000 on the clock. I'd always loved the Scorpio from when they had first ...  Read the complete review

The Granada Scorpio is such a lovely car to drive .We have had it for 2 weeks and its perfect. It a K reg. so its quite old but it runs so smoothly and has lots of creature comforts. My husband as always wanted one of these since his brother got one 6 years ago and he has sold it on to us. I must admit I wasn't sure about driving it ...  Read the complete review

Well what can I say, Having just lost my beloved Volvo to that great car park in the sky I had to find some new wheels. A friend of mine was getting rid of a 1990 Granada 2Ltr Ghia i as his father in law had just given him his old car. I wasn't sure that I wanted a Ford ( Fix Or Repair Daily ), but after a short test drive I was hooked. ...  Read the complete review

2.8i Engine, now that's what I call an engine. Granada's are the last great grunt cars from UK Ford. The Granada's I'm referring to are pre C reg. These cars are huge and not as aerodynamic as the newer Granadas but for some reason they were more powerful. The car might be very heavy but the grunt of an 2.8i soon gets ...  Read the complete review

We are a 2 Granada family now, we got our first about 3 years ago at an auction and it has served us so well we got another recently. No other car compares for sheer size, comfort and boot space! The automatic gear box is so easy to use, it kicks down fast giving that extra oompf when you need to overtake. Little has gone wrong other than ...  Read the complete review
