1993 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Great Car for the Money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the brakes at about 110,000 miles (basic)
The exhaust needs replacing right now, but I can't complain about it since I tend to take the car off road and over curbs and parking blocks.
Had the tie-rods, ball joints, and wheel hubs replaced at about 140,000.
General comments?
First let me say I love Tempos, they are one of the most underrated cars.
It may lack some pick up, but gets excellent gas mileage 29 city / 35 highway.
