1989 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"A perfect first car at a great price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very few things have gone wrong with my Tempo.
There are a few holes in the seats.
General comments?
This car may be just a 4-cylinder, but its a great first car!
Its a great work car, too. I've learned so much about fixing smaller things, detailing it, etc.
Its very responsive and the front wheel drive comes in handy :-)
