1983 Ford Laser S review from Australia and New Zealand
"All in all a very good, compact, comfortable car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My engine blew smoke shortly after I started to drive it and I replaced the engine.
I broke front gearbox mount probably due to old age.
The car loses driving performance with two or more people in the car.
The car has gone through a few air filters too.
General comments?
It is comfortable with an exelent driving position.
The car handles well within normal driving conditions.
The replacement engine was easy to install.
