1988 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought it used from an old couple. It had 135k miles on it. First the transmission went out then not even a week later the compressor went out. The compressor in my car controlled the a/c, the power steering and the alternator.
General comments?
It doesn't have too much pick up. It is comfortable considering. It's about everything I would expect from a car that old.
