1984 Ford Granada Reviews, Pricing & Specs

For an old bus they go well. 0-60mph, don't expect to break any records but from 50 - 70mph and beyond, it has plenty of pull and keeps up with the motorway traffic. Anyone who says they are under powered obviously had a bad experience, and has forgotten they are a 1970's design so is 30+ years old in it's technology. There are plenty of bad ones out there though. But a well looked after one will have plenty of torque. Can be very tail happy in the wet but with the classic 80's Ford styling, it's a small price to pay. The Granada is a much over looked classic so don't expect to see much of them mentioned in a classic car magazine, but there are plenty of online clubs such as GSO and FGCUK.Nov 10, 2010

I always wanted to have a Granada, as this was the last American-style Euro-Ford in history and I absolutely like the boxy styling. Found a totally rust-free unit, which is half a needle in 50 haystacks! A beautiful cruiser in almost perfect condition - but the least joy of driving you could ever imagine! I strongly suppose this was my last Granada as well! Sold it to a collector after a 3/4 year of driving, just because it never felt like "my" car. I always felt like driving a car that was borrowed from a friend...Jun 02, 2010
