1990 Ford Tempo L review from North America
"A great first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery Died (remember it is a 13 year old car)
Brakes need to be adjusted
General comments?
When I first bought this car it ran well. After the car battery died, the car kept stalling in traffic, and the headlights are dieing on me.
For the price of the car I am not complaining. This car will never die on you. You can trust the car no matter what.
Seats are comfortable for the year of the car, and the interior is simple to use. Cheap on gas, even though this car has a 2.3 L 4 cylinder engine in it, it has the power.
