1988 Ford Meteor GL 1.3
Summary:
It's a proud and noble thing!
Faults:
The driver's seat seemed slightly loose at one of the runners. Nothing major, just meant you had to rock a bit to get the seat to click into place.
General Comments:
This was my first car. My sister and I bought it from an old lady.
First impressions:
Old. Boring.
Then took it for a test drive...
Wow! VERY responsive throttle!
Heavy steering, but a very solid feel to drive.
Easy gear box (4 speed). Never had problems with it slipping into fourth from first etc.
Relatively comfortable given the car's age.
The only reason I don't have the car anymore is because my sister wrote it off. However, I can report that the seat belts worked and that the car coped well given the velocity of the accident.
All round. This Mazda-Ford (Mazord to my family) was a loyal servant for the few months it was with us.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
