1987 Ford Orion Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"A reliable, bulletproof, iconic car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only complaint I would have with my particular Orion, is the amount of rust on the bodywork, particularly the rear wheel arches.
General comments?
Overall I thought the Orion was a great car.
It never let me down and was completely reliable, even in the winter months.
The car was quick and handled well, and for me was a pleasure to drive.
For me the Ghia detailing and accessories were spot on, with rear head rests, electrics pack, on-board fuel computer and alloy wheels.
All this for a car I bought at auction in 1998 for £365.
