1995 Ford Falcon GLi 4.0 petrol from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
I liked it
Faults:
Lots, but mostly wear and tear items. Shocks cost me a lot in the first few years as the KM's rose, but acceptable at the age and mileage, just felt bouncy but once the new ones (all 4!) were in, the car drove much better.
Oil leak but nothing serious.
Interior not as hard wearing as I'd like, a few things broke. A/C never worked.
Tried to look after the car as much as possible, I did every oil change and any belts required.
General Comments:
A great car I had a long while ago, the Falcon is a classic sedan that just does everything right, a traditional 4 door cruiser.
Loved the look of the 1990's version of these cars, nice and understated styling inside and out. Dash looked more 80's than 90's though I thought.
The car was good to drive, did about 10L/100KM combined, but was more than fast enough on the road.
A very comfortable car, GLi was kinda mid range, had decent seats and some electrics. Spacious also.
All in all a popular car from simpler times gone by and I do miss when cars were like this. I sold it when it was 15 years old, doubt it is still around, but who knows.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

GLi was the base spec; Futura could be considered the middle spec.
