1991 Ford Laser GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"All in all, it’s a great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing, as you could tell with the 58,000 Km’s on the clock, its like brand new!
But can be quite annoying to sit there and wait for it to warm up on cold mornings.
General comments?
This car handles really well, and when you put your foot to the floor (literally I might add) It has awesome pick up, I’m 17 and when I’m in the car by my self, its quite quick.
I have put a Sony CD player in it, and also Sony 6x9’s in the back.
With the Km’s being extremely low, at just 58,000km’s – The original engine when it was brought brand new by my grand farther – kept in the family since new.
Could do with a 4spd Auto, But I guess its all right, I had a 92 Laser GLI Hatch (1.8ltr)
And have moved down to this 91 Laser GL Sedan (1.6ltr) Both Auto’s, and really this is just as quick as the 1.8, but not when taking off, I miss the 1.8 for that.
With the Air on, the engine seem to struggle a little, and loses power, not much, like it’s about to break down, but you can notice it.
Petrol it quite good, cost’s about $55 (AU) to fill it up – depending where you go.
