Super TestCar reviews - Ford - Laser - LXi 5-dr hatchFord modelsResearch Ford OverviewThe final Mazda 323-based Ford small car has space as well as refinement29 Mar 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON DESPITE some earnest work on both front and rear ends, there is no questioning the Ford Laser's connection with the latest Mazda Astina. Inside, only the badges advise you which car you are driving. The Laser is a well-packaged car with peppy engines and an intriguing standard equipment choice - air-conditioning and driver's airbag are there but there are no power windows or mirrors, or central locking.

The move to full importation shifted Ford's focus away from the car as a volume seller. Three and 5-door hatch, and a 4-door sedan were offered. Two twin-cam 4-cylinder engines were available - a 1.6-litre and a 1.8-litre. |
