1990 Ford Tempo LX review from North America
"Recommend this car to anybody"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Emergency brakes seized up, but that's expected when there never used.
The horn needed to be fixed, there was a little spring loaded part that seized up and prevented the circuit from being completed.
Blow a lot of fuses for some reason? but that could be my fault for add a lot of extra electronics.
The drivers seat is broken and makes me sit slanted back to the left.
General comments?
For the price I pay for gas and insurance I don't mind any problems this car could possibly have.
Its very reliable easy to park and drive for the wife.
Parts are cheap, I can do a full break job for under 100 bucks.
