1993 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"I'm keeping this car forever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The mass air flow censor went out causing a rough idle. After it was replaced the car ran great.
The tailpipe fell off. However, it should be said I drive the car really fast, take quick turns and drive on tough terrain.
General comments?
I picked this car up for $2,500 and, even though I'm a sports-car fan, I love this car.
This car is very reliable and takes my abuse like a champ.
The car picks up quite nicely for a 4 door economy car.
