    A lot of car for little money.

    Who cares about image? Give me reliability anyday!

    Comfort

    Simply the best.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Why would anyone need to worry about an old Granada being stolen? Owned them for the last 14 years now, and never had one broke into yet!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never, ever use Ford garages for any sort of maintenance. Easy enough for independant mechanic or DIY.

    Problems

    Idle can be a little uneven sometimes.

    Other
