1991 Ford Orion Encore review from UK and Ireland
"Quick and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Speedo cable snapped.
Exhaust is blowing.
Eev counter inoperable.
Changed the engine from a 1.4 to a 1.6 xr2 engine due to having very different compressions and not worth fixing.
General comments?
Quicker then most Orions, handles well due to being lowered.
Comfy on long distances, lots of room in the front and back of the car. Has a very large boot with plenty of room for lots of 10 inch subs.
Have re-trimmed the seats and door cards due to the gloomy gray standard ones.
It's a cheap car to repair when things go wrong. No major problems, just little annoying things.
Cheap to insure and cheap to run. Uses lots of fuel when racing mates in hatchbacks.
