1989 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"A comfort car, not a performance car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong, I just put some tune up parts in it when I got it.
Such as belts, plugs and hoses. An Air Intake hose went, but was easily fixed and 1 alternator, no biggie though.
It tends to stall when its idling at a stop light and you suddenly hit the gas, but I found a way around it.
My emergency brake does not work, but that's not a problem.
General comments?
This car looks like a box, but the interior is in very good condition and is laid out nicely, except for cup holders.
My Tempo is a very good first car or if you want a cheap beater that will last.
