1988 Ford Orion CL review from Portugal
"Nice, fast and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a carburator leak, bad exhaust (which made me change my exhaust 2 times, first the last exhaust, then the middle exhaust), and very bad state of conservation of seats.
Bad battery.
General comments?
I knew I wouldn't buy an old car without problems, but I'm very happy with the car since I solved it.
It's very comfortable, excellent driving and it tops out at 200km/h.
Excellent comfort on the rear seats.
It has great driving and it behaves like on rails.
It came with excellent body paint and a smooth clean engine. Loved it.
