1990 Ford Orion Ghia EFI review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the gearbox about a year after I bought it and replaced the alternator after about 2 years.
General comments?
It has only broken down twice in 4.5 years (gearbox and alternator) so it's quite dependable. It's quick, the engine's quiet, and the ride is smooth, it also has good brakes, all of which make it comfortable and enjoyable to drive.
My previous car was a Ford Orion 1.4L which was a good runner but I really wanted a 1.6EFI Ghia. My car is an EFI but is the last of the old shape Orions (which I prefer) so the combination of this, plus other new shape specifications make it my 'dream' car.
