Looking for a big car on a small budget? Then you'll probably already know where to look first. Ford's Granada offers a lot of car for the money - no question. Nor is there any lack of choice. The Granada was replaced by the questionably styled Scorpio. In its heyday, however, a trip along Britain's motorways could easily have convinced you that the blue oval's flagship was Britain's best selling car. Back in the late Eighties and early Nineties, a Granada was a mark of faithful service for the middle management reps whose daily task was to pound around round to Potters Bar. A mild (or not so mild according to model) pat on the back for years of successful sales targets. Even today, Henry's big saloon is a common sight. However, the drivers at the wheel are second-hand buyers who've bought into big car motoring for supermini money.
A lot of car for not a lot of money. If image, manoeuvrability and fuel consumption aren't an issue, you couldn't do much better.
