Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia 4d (2001/X) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
For this sort of money you won't get a nicer or better performing car!
Costs
To repair the car is reasonably cheap as it uses mk 4 Escort parts, which are everywhere! Boot seals etc are more difficult!

On the road
Driving
Could do with power steering, as for its size it can be hard to manoeuvre! Especially during parking!
Performance
Like a little rocket! Very quick.

Living with it
Reliability
Mine has proved really reilable! Only consuambles have been replaced! e.g. brakes.
Image
Nice from front, but without the rear wing the rear looks boxy.
Comfort
With the ghia badge, it makes for a very plush interior! Beats the like of Fiestas with their plasticy feel! Steering wheel is nice and so are the extras! e.g. electric wing-mirrors.

Security and Service
Security
Have no prob with sercurity so far! Mine does have an Aftermarket alarm though.
Service
Okay! But very expensive! Would recommend doing things yourself! Cheap and avalible parts!
