1990 Ford Laser GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Laser? Love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distributor module died twice - at 135000km and 245000km
Timing cover split. Got a Mazda 323 replacement cheap.
No other problems.
General comments?
Roomy interior - I'm 6'4 and have plenty of head and leg room.
Easy to drive, easy to park, easy to work on and easy on the wallet!
Watch for dull paint - factory finish weathers VERY badly and VERY quickly (mine did anyway)
To be honest I'd keep the laser until it did a million k's on the clock, it's such a good all-rounder.
