The AU has shown years after release that its the last proper old school Falcon built to last, easy & cheap enough to repair for the home mechanic too. The icing on the cake is its world class driving dynamics, fuel economy & almost tank like robustness & reliability.
Falcons down through the years have always been damn reliable, the AU was the benificiary of know how only decades of experience can produce at that time, Ford carved the AU out of solid rock & gave it some real soul.
cheers, Maka
