1990 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Not dependable, and it's costly!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
PVC joint broke when I got the car.
Very ugly dashboard.
Paid $1800 and have already spent $1000.
Runs well, but never know when it will break down.
Alternator belt snapped while I was in the middle of a Minnesota winter blizzard.
Put on a new muffler.
Changed the brake.
General comments?
Is very comfortable and easy to drive, but there is always a weird noise coming from the back and the engine.
I always get nervous when I take it for a long ride.
Very poor performance and will never buy another Ford!
