1990 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Nothing but a hassle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This piece of crap leaks oil.
The transmission is now messed up and doesn't switch gears on time.
Both of the CV joints in the front have tore up.
Currently, the car is making some kind of roaring noise in the rear.
Have to add a quart of oil to the damn thing every two days.
Screwed up radio wiring.
Muffler has fallen off while driving.
General comments?
I will never buy another Ford Tempo GL.
Buyers beware, these cars are cheap but you end up paying a lot to fix all the crap that tears up on it.
