1989 Ford Orion Ghia 1.6 i from UK and Ireland
Summary:
As good as a XR3i, but cheaper on insurance
Faults:
Starter motor went faulty.
Oil switch leaked (common fault).
Boot central locking mechanism stopped working.
General Comments:
The car drives well, could do with a turbo engine to make it a bit quicker.
I got rid of the standard Ghia front seats & replaced with Impreza STi seats to hold me in round tight corners.
Very reliable car, I'm planning on keeping this car for a while.
Would definitely buy another Ghia again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I've got this car and I would not change it for anything. I was think of getting a new car, but I just got the RS Bodykit for it and it's given it a face lift, now it's OK good, sounds good, and the performance is there as well.
