1983 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Cheap and reliable, great car!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
Oil changes/regular maintenance.
General comments?
I lived out of this car during college. It was my first car and it was free. I haven't put a dime into it. I just bought a 1994 Tempo and donated the old one to a charity.
