Had a Scorpio prior to my mig  but it wasnt the later model that looked like its front end had been left in front of the fire and had melted downwards.
Mine was big clumsy poor handling model always felt like the back end was sliding away on the motorways ( it probably was ) the difference  driving the miggy was sooo much better !
sorry but I dont miss mine one bit

Love the scorpio!! i had a 2.9 cosworth,what a machine!!  I know some say they are ugly.....but beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Good that someone on here shares my love for them  

Vauxhall LOVED them - helped their sales no end

Rover liked them more....it ment that the 800 series was not the shitest car in its market segment!

For VX it went from roughly 1:1 to 3:1 VX vs Ford sales.

The Grannies sold roughly the same as Carlton/Senator and AFAIR the Omega outsold the WMF at least 3:1

There are very nice and comfortable cars to drive, very quiet too. I used to have a 2.3, a bit slugish though but really enjoyed it. Paintworks always comes out shining.

With regards to the original poster probably best to refer you to www.fordscorpio.co.uk

Lets be totally honest no way was it that bad. I honestly think Scorpio's are fantastic cars the looks are suspect but comfort noise level, gajets and things like that more than make up for it.

I drove a 2.9 Granny for a number of years as a company car.  Preferred the hatchback as opposed to the saloon but, thankfully, we moved away from the Granada's when the bug eye version came out.

Never did like the look of them, despite the running gear and internals being much the same....

Fixed it and the radio It was the fuse for the interior lights and interior audio equipment. Sound system is good I forgot how comfy it was and how much the seat reclined

Having been lucky enough to of driven All 3 i owned a 800 aswell (For a week admitidly)

The Rover 800 is by far the worst it feels to long and drives like a lorry infact a lorry problably handles better! the 800 rolls and bounces about too much the 2.0 Turbo has absolutely no go in it what so ever

The Scorpio being RWD the handling is so-so still the rear seems a little light the 2.7 cosworth is underpowered and over rated

The Omega MV6 well!!!! i bought the MV6 over the scorpio

The 800 also has appauling build quality none of the toys worked on the vitesese i owned for a week

I bought the 800 cheap from a local auction i thought being a 2.0T it might be abit fun boy was i wrong i sold it on eBay for a modest profit

most of the rover 800 2.0 turbos have been ragged to buggery, and are all knackered. Generally toys stay working, unlike earlier SD1, but build quality isn't great, particularly later ones built in the BMW era.

Not many good ones around, but handling can be reasonable, but does suffer understeer under hard power.
