1985 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"A fighter that can handle the miles and deliver pizza! Set your Tempo!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well... the alternator will go on every Tempo along with a water pump, hoses, brakes and they have an easily damaged (hehehe) battery and solenoid.
General comments?
She's a brute and she's the fighter that don't get knocked out! Long live Emiglio (her name).
Get one, beat the crap out of it and run it into the ground. I delivered pizzas in it for a year!... Tell me she won't start and I will laugh at you.. Great car, great value.
