Asked by Des Middleton
I AM considering buying a 2005 station wagon to replace our 1993 Camry Vienta wagon. I travel 20,000km a year and plan to keep it for 10 years. I have been looking at a BA Ford Falcon dedicated LPG or VZ Holden and converting it to gas, or a Mazda6 wagon or Corolla wagon. Which would you recommend?
Answered by CarsGuide
30 Nov 2007I WOULDN'T buy the BA Falcon with the dedicated LPG system. It's old LPG technology and suffers stalling, stumbling, surging and lack of performance unless it's well maintained. A better alternative is to buy a regular BA wagon and have it converted to dual fuel using one of the latest gas-injection systems that have no drive-ability problems. I get too many complaints about the Falcon to recommend it. The VZ wagon was available with a dual-fuel LPG system developed by IMPCO and using a gas-injection system. That is a good way to go, but I wouldn't recommend buying a VZ wagon and having it converted, because there are said to be problems with the regular Alloytec engine when running on LPG. The Mazda6 is a good car with a good reputation for reliability, as is the Corolla, and I'd be happy to buy either.
