1992 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Comfortable, affordable, reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the master cylinder because the brakes went at 162,553km.
At 170,682km I had to buy a new battery as well as a new starter.
Around the same time, I replaced the solenoid but I don't think it was really needed.
I just recently had the motor fixed at 175,034km because it was almost completely rusted out.
I'm also still having problems with the back right passenger side door, it won't unlock. You can't get into it from the outside or open it from the inside.
General comments?
The seats in the car are very comfortable; however, the print on the bottom of the seats are starting to wear out.
It's very roomy, with lots of leg room, back seat included.
It handles well with no shaking at high speeds.
I also fell very safe within this vehicle and it's very reliable.
