1990 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"This car will run 300,000 miles. No problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning problems... pinhole somewhere in the lines that I never fixed.
This car has been run dry on oil and beaten to death, has 175000+ miles and is still going strong. The only rust spot is on the hood and is mild.
LOVE THIS CAR! I think I can get 3 or 400000 miles out of it.
General comments?
Best car I have ever owned. My husband drag races and modifies cars and is a diehard Chevy fan - but he says you can't beat the Tempo.
