Faults:

Just recently I had to have a new mapping censor installed. At the same time I also had the spark plugs and plug wires changed.

A few months ago I had to replace the water pump when it started overheating.

I also had to replace the distributor cap as well as the rotor.

My father and I also changed the front brakes in July.

In April of 2003, my electronic seats stopped working too.

General Comments:

I love my car! My father bought it for me after my ford escort began to nickle and dime us.

This car handles great in the summer however has some problems in the winter due to the rear-wheel drive unit.

The seats are quite comfortable for both long and short journeys. I love the lumbar support system.

For a high school student the gas mileage is quite sufficient as well.

Faults:

Everything (except the engine) has broken at least once in the four years I've owned the car. For me to list all the troubles would take all day. Problems include the transmission (three) the turbo, brakes (unreliable) heater cores, sunroof, broken seats, rearend, frontend, you name it.

General Comments:

This is an awful, awful car. It's fun to drive, but is as unreliable as a Pinto (being nice to Pintos). I would never buy another of these terrible cars. It sure is nice to look at though.

Faults:

I blew 4 or 5 alternators.

The inside cloth part of the roof is was badly damaged, so I took it out.

The oil leaks.

The A/C doesn't work.

General Comments:

The boost on this car will make you grip the steering wheel out of sheer fear. The boost is limited at 18 PSI, but gets up to 22 PSI before the computer restrains it.

This car looks good and is easy to soup up.

The thing will run forever. 190,000K!!

Car tops out at 143 MPH.

If you pack the inter-cooler with dry ice it runs even faster.

(denser air=better boost)

Faults:

Clutch went out.

Anti-lock break cable snapped.

Voltage Regulator makes gauge's act funny.

New radiator.

Timing chain broke.

General Comments:

The car competes with many of the new cars on the road, I love to push it.

The seats are comfortable, and the leather interior is really nice.

Faults:

Alternator, radiator, water pump, timing chain,brake pads, rotors calipers.

General Comments:

I love my turbo coupe. It was just as good as my cougar. Ford had great years in the 80's. I had no Major problems with either cars.. It absolutely smoked a jagaur on the highway doing about 135MPH.I am in the process of "Hooking it up" Will check back later.

Faults:

The car likes to idle high, but with a few starts, it resumes regular idle.

The clutch had to be replaced at 105,000 miles. Probably because of the Burnouts I did.

I like the way the car had a systems sentry. It told me when a low beam was out or when I was low on gas.

General Comments:

The car is great. It's fast and very comfortable, but the most exciting factor in owning a Turbo Coupe is that it is so rare. I would suggest anyone to buy one and fix it up. It will be worth it in the future.
