1990 Ford Orion GL review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New Gearbox After 75,000 Miles.
New steering rack, wheel bearings.
Cigarette Lighter keeps coming out.
Lots of rattles and leaks.
General comments?
Very unexciting car, Seats have no lower back support.
Steering very heavy, Suspension very bouncy, Engine dull and noisy.
Brakes poor, Tracking keeps going out of alignment, all in all it drives very much like a boat!!
Having said that it starts first time every time, never stalls, smooth ride on M/Way.
