1987 Ford Orion Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Quality family saloon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front window motors failed at 48,000 miles.
Tyres needed replacing at 50,000 miles.
Heater failed at 55,000 miles.
General comments?
Aside two electrical faults, the Orion was a very reliable car.
The Orion was also good value at £3,600 as a four year old private buy.
Sold it on a year later for £3,000.
Comfortable to drive and also gave excellent handling and performance.
Big boot proved very useful for carrying loads.
Saw it on the road as recently as 2004, by when it was 17 years old.
