1987 Ford Tempo review from North America
"An excellent vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes warped, so whenever I slowed down or stopped the car shook badly.
Screws/bolts on transmission pan became loose and leaked transmission fluid.
Car sometimes idles badly when first being started after sitting for several hours.
Steering wheel is slightly loose.
General comments?
Reliable.
Good gas milage.
Been through 2 wrecks and driving with low transmission fluid for several days and is still doing fine.
