1990 Ford Orion Laser review from UK and Ireland

The battery is the only thing I've really had problems with this far, but I got it replaced at the salesmans expense, and it's run smooth since.

I also had a little too little power output from the generator. I don't think that's the cars fault, it's more dependent on my extreme car audio (I do some car audio competing).

I've also noticed that the rubber around the right front power transmission axle (whatever it's called) has broken a couple of days ago.

Nice car. It's not too hard to do some modifications either inside or outside the cabin (which I do quite a lot because of my car audio competitions).

No corrosion yet, except for the place where my little brother hit my car with a baseball. That place's been fixed (freed from rust and repainted) twice but the rust keeps coming back. The car gets a wash every time I've used it so that could be the reason for the rust-freeness.

Runs smooth on highways.

A bit "jerky" when starting to drive on a cold day.

The Brakes are good, and the acceleration/general driving properties are very comfortable for such a low-priced car as this one.

I've had it for 5 years and I've driven 100,000 miles and I'm still satisfied.
