Value for money,comfort,improved chassis and handling.
As mentioned earlier the thermostat tends to stick but there is a cut off incase this happens.
I had a 24v Ford Scorpio Cosworth 2 years ago and was very impressed with the acceleration and top speed (70 of course). 2nd gear jumped a bit on engagement (auto) but did not affect ride too much. Tyre choice is very important as back end in snow or ice is similar to a boat. Interior is very nice especially Ultima with leather and walnut effect on curvy dash is stunning. ABS light tends to illuminate whether system is gubbed or not but ford should sort problem if concerned. I now have 12v ultima 2.9 v6 and for the second time the battery symbol is illuminated but no electrical prob seems to be there. I noticed a stray wire on alternator and reconnected it, this put light out but recently has came back on. Depreciation on these cars was frightening but was much in the favour of drivers who enjoy big, comfy fast cars for sweetie money. So many motoring journalists jumped on the bandwagon with the cars looks but I ' m sure they were not the best looking either (Mr Clarkson ' ), I love the look, especially the rear. All cars nowadays look the same and lack character, I think people just didn ' t have the cojones to drive a car with looks that turn heads.
