1992 Ford Orion Ghia i 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Affordable performance ford, although should be cheaper to insure"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has trouble starting quite regularly, battery has been changed, but this doesn't seem to help.
When the car idols it quite often stalls because the revs are to low and being a largish car it has trouble pulling away, this may be the injection system however.
The power steering whines and groans.
General comments?
All in all the car is fantastic in my opinion, apart from the rather high insurance group in relation to the car's performance and acceleration.
Very quick off the mark.
Handling is excellent, although I have wider than standard tyres on it. Sticks to the road like glue.
