1992 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"A reliable bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust had to be replaced about a month after I bought the car.
The air conditioning only works when it wants to, which isn't very often.
The rugs on the front seats have worn pretty badly.
The power locks only work on the driver's side of the car.
General comments?
The seats are very comfortable, and though it's small it's a great car for road trips. Five people fit comfortably and I've never had complaints about foot room, even in the back seats.
The factory speakers sound great now that I bought a new stereo.
This car is faster than it looks! I've won quite a few drags and almost everyone underestimates her!
I've never broken down in this car, and I would take it anywhere without fear of getting stuck at the side of the road.
The mileage is great, especially compared to the 1986 Dodge Caravan I had previously!
