No argument about that. I believe there were 5 recalls. Other than that ;=) it really was a nice car. I was driving about 40 - 50k a year then and really appreciated the head room and the ride. BillR

Was probably built in Germany or the UK. Europeans won't stand for the shoddy build quality that we get here. Talking about assembly issues not design flaws. I remember driving my first UK Ford which was a Cortina in green. I was amazed at how well put together it was compared to US made Fords. The Volkswagen Polo I had in Belfast was another surprising car. Even my Austin Maestro was better than most over here!
