1990 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Better than everybody else tells ya"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought it when it needed a new clutch and a new bumper, since the previous owner had crashed. I fixed them both, and nothing else. oh yeah, the LED in the clock, but got a system put in, so didn't really mater.
General comments?
I Drive this car everyday, winter and summer, and it always starts. It doesn't matter if its 100 or -50 out, it always has started!! It is a lot better car than people think. The 0-60 time is supposed to be like 11, but I got 7.8 and top speed of 120. It's just as good as a lot of probes and other cars. I have beat a lot of "better" cars in drags and that sort of stuff!!! Fun car to have!!
