Remember seeing this and the honda prelude a lot during the early-mid 90s. Shame coupes are not all that popular anymore these days.

I still remember my dad's old Ford Telstar 1.8 from 1980s, a few occasion he tested top speed at highway, can reach 180km/h...
Damn, 30 years forward today our modern car with 1.6NA also only the same speed or little faster only nia.

Anyone here lucky enough to have owned a Ford Laser TX3 in the 90s?

The car that would smoke even a Honda Accord of the era.

Hardly see any surviving examples these days.

NA or Turbo?

Find the best one you can afford.

Why not go for the 20V models?

I have one, originally owned by my late uncle & then given to me.
Unfortunately, the car is still under my late grandfather name & can't renew the roadtax now.

Currently planning to sell it off as spare part..

Sorry was confused there for a bit. The other 5cyl of the era I was thinking of was the Volvo C70 which had a 4 and 5cyl.

Fiat Coupe had 1.8, 2.0 NA 16v, 2.0T (Same engine used in a Lancia Delta Integrale) and some also had the 5spd and some were 6spd. Finally there were the 2.0l 20v available in NA and Turbo, though all that were sold here are 6 speed other than a few very early models that were NA 5 speed.

These are cars that you do not buy the first one you see unless you know cars very well.

Yes, when it comes older contis, the cheapest one or the only one you can find is likely to be crappy. Specs and condition is everything, dont look at the price

That depends, 16V turbo models has its advantage as well. Depending on what type of driver you are.

KT hehehehe. Yes if you want to buy one better to buy one from him.

Haha yes, I know someone that recently bought one for RM60k fantastic and well cared for example. What he said is there are plenty out there that could be half that amount but you could easily spend RM40-50k just to sort it out especially if the wire harness is buggered.

My mum had the Mazda 626 hatchback as a company car in the late 80s. Digital instrument panel just like Knight Rider and that car really could run.

We had one that was brand new 20VT registered in 2008.

Cannot believe Torino kept it in stock for so damn long.

Recently sent on to a new home as we no longer wanted to keep any cars that were built after 1980.
