1990 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"An expensive mistake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stalled at traffic lights within a week. Leaked oil around head gasket. Gas pedal was sticking when accelerating. Temperature gage went to hot within twenty minutes of driving. Problems with starting. AC stopped working.
General comments?
This car is good on gas and does have some sporty looks. The inside and outside are in good shape.
