1989 Ford Laser GIA review from Australia and New Zealand
"Don't buy it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 130 000km
Over heated problem cannot go more than 10 kms at 145 000km without problem
Needed new brake pads at 135 000km.
Radio broke at 127 000
Odometer broke at 137 000.
General comments?
The car is smooth, but its not reliable at all. My brother had a Ford Laser and it eat up all his money. If you want a small car, do not buy a Ford Laser 1989.
I'm never going to buy Ford again.
