Faults:

Regular routine servicing like brakes, fluids, etc.

Head gasket has gone twice in its lifetime. Once at approximately 140,000km and most recently at 224,000km.

Gearbox is a 5 speed manual and has not had any problems whatsoever.

Air conditioner needs some more gas.

The single point engines can leak a bit of oil. This can be fixed by changing the gasket seals to rubber ones (which are used in the ED Falcon).

General Comments:

The engine is very tough and I expect to get at least 500,000km out of it.

Overall a big, roomy, powerful and reliable car that is very cheap to buy second hand.

Parts are cheap and plentiful.

Faults:

Blew the differential up six times trying to do burn outs that it wouldn't do.

Head gasket blew thrashing it last week.

Rust everywhere (it is a fairly new car!)

Engine smokes like a train.

Hand brake looks pathetic.

Locks on doors don't work.

Steering wheel vibrates heavily while driving normally.

Seat belts snap easily.

General Comments:

No power.

Doesn't stoke up.

Won't start on average three times a week.

Leaks oil everywhere.

Severe body roll.

Has the turning circle of a road train.

Stereo wouldn't scare a two-year old on full volume.
