favourite e-series model

[niko]

its like eb to ed

not much
slightly improved rear suspension setup incorporated into the diff, better side moulds (fairmont range and better grill to :P )

that's all i know of

[Sorted]

I like the EL's - the last of the e-series as they made it right - all previous models where just the moulds :

[Sick EB]

EB for me coz thats what i got although i would not turn down any if they were offered to me! lol

EL rox my jox o-O'

[Rmyers]

I chose EA. Hard to choose tho as what are we baseing our decisions on?? Looks? reliabilty? comfort? power? If we are baseing it on all of the above then EL is prolly the most logical choice, but if you put aside reliability, comfort and power, and only focus on looks, then i'm going to haveto choose the EA. I prefer the EA-ED shape over the EF/EL, and i prefer the indiviual charecteristics of on EA over EB/ED. For example, i MUCH prefer the **** end of an EA ghia compared to EB/ED ghia, and also prefer the vented c-pillar.

has anyone noticed how the graph actually looks?
EA is small, EB a bit bigger, ED bigger again.
then the new shape falcon came out and the EF is smaller than the ED, then the EL is largest of the lot.

just funny how, in term of age/series/etc, the latest of each model is most popular and they all seem to go in order!!

pointless post but just interesting...

HELL YEH!!!
i personally love the look of the EB grille, really stylish.
i used to love the el XR's although lately iv been a bit turned off by them, i think i prefer the ef xr over the el xr now!

the differences body wise between the ef and el were obviously the grille, the taillights went sh!tter! (why would ford have clear indicators in the rear of the ef, then go and put orange ones in the el?????), passenger side door handle on the front lost the door lock,fairmonts go different grilles also and extra bit of garnish on the boot, fairlanes changed grille and boot garnish.bout all i think!

one day i'd love to have an EB GT and an EL GT sitting side by side in my shed!!lol!!dream come true!!!!

cheers

thats why you buy an el fairmont, or any of the "higher" range :p

I'm with you on that one. C-pillar vents rock! The EA Ghia taillights and garnish look really classy as well.

still dosent make sense as ALL the ef range have clear indicators on the taillights! the el taillights on the standard cars look cheap. if i had an el id be putting in some ef taillights!actually do they even fit? im only presuming they are the same shape!

Yep, they fit. It was a bit of a cheap move putting ambers back on the EL. They did the opposite with the wagons though!

they are the same light, just the el has an orange shaded indicator instead of clear- my el fairmont has clear, "ef lights" from factory....

yeh they did too eh! seriously i dont get some car designers!!i think sometimes some of them are on drugs!!lol!
yeh i know the fairmonts got the clears again. they proberly tried to make a change between the lower range to the higher range. still its weird because of the ef having clears!
no one would even notice if the ef had orange ones and the el got the clears. it'd make sence then, but how it actually happened is just weird!

thinking back to eb-ed most enjoyable seats were the ebghia/xr ones, had some in my last ea and were the nicest seat out...

Agreed, I have the XR Recaro seats in my ED Futura. I chose ED in the poll for a couple of simple reasons.
1. I love the EA-ED shape, it just strikes me as tough.
2. ED's seem to be the better of the earlier E's, they seem to take more punishment and reqiure less constant maintainance in the process.
Unless, of course, I just got a really good one (a Wednsday car).

[nothin suss]

Ed 4 Me........

[Heffnic]

loce me ef although when i was hunting for my 2nd car i was looking for an el ghia and for the life of me i could not get my hands on one this was about 2 years ago, the closet was in N.S.W oh well happy wit me ef Fairmont.

[LeXGreeN]

Just a brief note to add to the el tailight conversation,My el ghia is one of the last made having a 5th month 1998 manufacture date and came with the white tail light,i also voted el :P

[eb91xr6]

EB GT, EB s XR6, EB s XR8

best fords built in my opinion but maby its coz i have a EB

[mark_TD]

Although I own an EF LTD i still like the ED, especially the fairmonts, ghia, and XR so I voted for the ED

[reded]

i own an ED and i'd have to say they would be the best e-series car for me.
got the tough looks and the creature comports.
EL is second for me.

cheers troy

[niko]

i've owned many e-series, but i have found the EL (fairmont) to be a great looking car and very well refined, driving one was a pleasure and a half! +manual and i am now kind of regreting selling it :( lol

[Greenhorn]

eb for me

[Eu-GenixX]

don't know why.. but i LOVE EA's...

[crannersEL]

EL's are still going strong :-)

[[EDGHIA]]

ED's are the best, well at least my personal favorite... :

[niko]

i voted ea in this poll when it 1st started, i change that to ef/el, THEY ROCK!

[red_hotxr6]

Come on the EF,s..lol

[Nostalgia]

EA for me.
