1986 Ford Laser TX3 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A small, but sporty car with HUGE potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
During the time I have owned the car, it has not needed any repairs.
However, the previous owner:
Changed the timing belt at 140,000kms.
Had a new gasket fitted.
General comments?
The car has great pickup, but doesn't like speeds of over 150kms.
The car looks quite sporty and you'll grow fond of it's spoiler and two door appearance.
The cabin is neat and well designed, but is filled with dull colors.
The engine doesn't mind a thrashing now and then.
Extremely reliable, fuel injected engine.
Plenty of places for big sub woofers and upgrades.
