For sure, Cheko is one of the most well-known builders on the Brick Rigs workshop. His attention to detail is amazing, while keeping the brick count down to under 350 bricks. Although Cheko's submission for the English Car Contest wasn't approved, his Ford Granada is a great retro sedan we will be reviewing right now.
Manufactured in Germany, the Ford Granada is a car well-known in England, due to its great reliability and practicality. Powered by an in-game V2 and RWD, it is certainly perfect for any road trip.
The Granada is an example of generic 80's European vehicle design, but that definitely doesn't mean it looks ugly. Its very detailed rims, bumpers and refined bodylines are in fact very attractive. Another interesting part of its overall look is the generous space for custom license plates.
Although being quite large, the Granada is actually a light, fun-to-drive sedan with amazing capabilities. The interior doesn't feel too luxurious, but will fulfill your expectations from a reasonably-priced eighties sedan. It packs simple cloth flooring and wooden panelling around the dashboard.
Generally, the Granada leaves a nice, nostalgic feel of the European 80's, while the Americans dream about the cybernetic future. Having a low brick count and great details, our team absolutely loved this car.
Score:
Low-brick factor: 8 - Like the Versta Roadmaster, the Granada will definitely do fine in most servers, having a reasonable count of 321 bricks.
Cool factor: 7 - Although being a great 80's sedan, it was pretty common for its time, but driving a well-kept model around will definitely turn heads.
Fun factor: 8 - The Granada is very fun to drive thanks to its bouncy suspension, relatively good speed and nice interior.
Practicality: 9 - The car seats four and has plenty of trunk space.
Driving: 9 - The Granada drives great thanks to its thought-out engine and suspension.
