1978 Ford FairmontReview
Was An Ok Car — first vehicle purchased, bought used, drove this car for almost 4 years, had very good performance 8 cylinder vehicle, 2 door, dependable for first couple of years, but after a while, the fuseable link would keep shorting out, at the time, worked a a Ford dealership, which was great. Then after a while got tired of the ugly beigy color they came in and traded that in for 500, so really paid 850 and drove this car for about 3-4 years so it only cost about 350 Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Fast, fun to drive, was my first car Cons: Fuseable link kept shorting out Looking for a Used Fairmont in your area?CarGurus has thousands of nationwide listings and the tools to find you a great deal. |

Four Cylinder Engine Was Totally Gutless — I bought this car as a family car with a four cylinder engine and a four speed manual transmission. Went through a clutch at 50,000 miles. The four cylinder actually had a higher horsepower rating then the six, but you could have fooled me! Car handled well and the back seat was large and comfortable. the trunk was very large. The car was so low on power that it slowed down when the air conditioner was turned on. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Great gas mileage and a very large car for its weight Cons: Performance was terrible, a kid on a bike might beat you from a traffic light. |

Fairstang — Built it myself...its pretty sweet. 93 Mustang Cobra suspension. Trying to eliminate the chassis flex now, it wheel hops pretty severely. Built the motor and transmission myself and installed them over the winter. Gained 6 mpg by swapping the 200 I-6 for the 302 V-8 Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: It is the car of the future (as indicated by the original sales brochure) Cons: Chassis flex is hard to eliminate with an engine with any power |

1 Sweet Ride — It's a drivers car. On gas so its cheap to run, has a bunch of performance gear so it does have a lil bit of go behind it. A nice set of 18" rims and a low stance give it a real nice look. Havin a tow bar is very handy, n ive got the good gear. The moon roof is a big hit and is great for summer. With the big sound system and neat lil changes inside, it makes 4 1 sweet ride. What can i say, EL's r a sexy lookin' machine Pros: Cheap, reliable and a hell of a lot of fun 2 drive. Cons: Not finished yet. |
