If ever the Cortina becomes Ireland's
best seller, we'll have mixed feelings.
The Ford Cortina is a truly remarkable motor
car.
For starters, it brings you
Total
Motoring
Economy. The Cortina costs less to put on the road.
Costs less to keep on the road. And even costs less
when it's off the road. Let's look and see:
Purchase Cost
:
£ for £, the Cortina
costs less than other cars in its class. And that
price includes, as standard equipment, such
valuable features as front disc brakes, dual-line
brakes, electric screen washer, glove box,
alternator, anti-theft steering lock, adjustable rake
seats, two-speed wipers and, of course, our
famous 'Aeroflow' ventilation system. In fact, the
Cortina makes other cars look as if they are
suffering from hyper-inflation. And, when it comes
to re-sale price, the Cortina is also undisputed
leader.
On-the-Road Costs:
The Cortina gives
you a touring M PG of 36.2*. And no comparable
car offers better warranty terms than our 12 months
or 12,000 miles guarantee, or our 6,000 miles
service intervals. Add in Cortina comfort, style and
zippiness and you've got an all-round valuefor
money motoring package.
Servicing Costs:
If ever your Cortina
needs a turn in the repair bays, you'll discover two
things. You won't have to travel far to find one -
Ford has more service outlets than any other motor
manufacturer. And, the parts will cost much less
than comparable makes.
Family-sized Comfort
:
The Cortina
is family-sized - one of the few genuine family-size
cars there are. Not too big outside and certainly not
too small and cramped inside. The Cortina gives
you motoring comfort and motoring style - in
exactly the right proportions.
So why isn't it Number 1 7
Despite
all the pros and plusses, despite Total Motoring
Economy, despite the fact that the Cortina is a
beautiful car to drive, we have to confess one
thing: we're still quite happy for the Ford Cortina
to stay at Number 2 in the best seller lists.
So long, of course, as the Ford Escort stays at
Number 1.
