1990 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Cheap, but not so cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator caught on fire.
Floorboards on the passenger side rusted.
Tire on the driver's side blew due to bad alignment.
General comments?
The A/C doesn't work due to a pinhole I haven't found yet.
Runs good otherwise and gets decent gas mileage.
Brakes do need work in the back.
I paid $1,300 dollars for it and have already put about $200 in it.
