1987 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Ultimate learning automobile, because you can do the work yourself."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, the only thing that has gone wrong with it is the headlights have long been yellowed, and I was forced by my local police to purchase fog lights. Other than that, nothing has been a problem for me.
General comments?
Nobody has anything on my Tempo GL, and the chicks dig my "Baby Blue" paint job. This car is a dream to own if you like to work on your own car, and not pass it on to a mechanic. I wish though that I had an AWD version. If anyone has one that they are willing to get rid of, contact me. By the way, the "GL" stands for good luck, not get laid. Sorry.
