1989 Ford Orion Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"As good as a XR3i, but cheaper on insurance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor went faulty.
Oil switch leaked (common fault).
Boot central locking mechanism stopped working.
General comments?
The car drives well, could do with a turbo engine to make it a bit quicker.
I got rid of the standard Ghia front seats & replaced with Impreza STi seats to hold me in round tight corners.
Very reliable car, I'm planning on keeping this car for a while.
Would definitely buy another Ghia again.
