1992 Ford Tempo GLS review from North America
"Rare and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 200 000 km brakes and clutch were done.
At 320 000 km Brakes and shocks, as well as water pump.
At 350 000 km strut assembly was replaced.
General comments?
Very very very reliable. Freakishly so.
Body is starting to rot, but that's expected after so long in Canada.
Quick car when new, but not so quick after 360 000 kms. Average acceleration now.
This car shows no signs of giving up, so it will be driven probably for the next 100 000 km.
I have seen only 1 other tempo GLS V6 5 spd in the 10 years I have owned it.
