Ford Cortina Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

FROM $970

The Ford Cortina was a mid-size sedan offering sold in Australia for 20 years from 1962 to 1982.

It was almost identical to the UK-built model of the same name, but was built in Broadmeadows, Victoria.

Sitting under the Ford Falcon in the Blue Oval’s line-up, the Cortina was a rival for the likes of the Holden Torana.

The line-up currently starts at $970 for the Cortina Gl and ranges through to $3,300 for the range-topping Cortina Ghia.

Ford Cortina FAQs

Good-looking cougar

I WOULD buy something else rather than gamble on a Cougar. It was yet another car imported by Ford to fill a hole while it was in an even deeper one with the Falcon. It was a good looker, and I'm guessing that is what got you hooked. It had reasonable performance, though my rating of it at the time was that it was a little too soft. Ford stocks parts and will do for a few years, but will eventually stop stocking them. I would look to something such as a Toyota Celica.
