1985 Ford Orion GL review from UK and Ireland
"A smooth quick car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headgasket (result of a thermostat packing up).
Clutch.
General comments?
An effortless car to drive with a very positive gearbox, a fairly quick car it will keep up with most cars on the road.
A very smooth ride with comfortable seats.
2 small bubbles of rust on the door but that is it. Very pleasing car to own with very little rust for the age of the car.
