Among its many faults, loud slow no room in the back , when raining and you would have lights,wipers heater etc going you would stop and turn it off and the wipers would jerk across the screen and the lights and interior inc dash lights would flash to the same beat as the wipers. Had it 7 weeks and traded it for a 16v Passat like the one at The Motorist.

I had an Orion 1.4 LX and it was a fairly competent family motor, it was bought new (pre-registered) when the new shape was launched (1990/1?) and gave reliable service for several years before it was swapped for a Mondeo. I was so happy that it boasted tinted windows, central locking and a sunroof. Maybe we were more easily satisfied in those day....<br />
<br />
Perhaps because I drove a Renault Extra van during the week, I liked driving the Orion at weekends. The boot was prone to catching crosswinds... no doubt because of the massive overhang, but it swallowed a pram and baby kit well.</div>
