1987 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"It's a great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to have a new clutch kit, a
new wheel bearing, a new brake cylinder
on it in the past two years.
It now needs a new motor mount, a
control arm and the entire front clip.
General comments?
This car was not well preserved before
I bought it, but it has never failed to
start and has always taken me where I
needed to go. Sure, it has a few
problems now, but that's because it
wasn't taken care of properly.
I believe, with a little tender loving.
Care, that this car will once again be.
A fabulous vehicle.
