1994 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Despite minor flaws, a great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering Pressure hose broke at about 125,000, causing the loss of Power Steering. cost a total of $200 to fix.
Transmission leak which I cannot figure out why it's leaking. This happened at 121,000.
Noisy rear struts. Had this since I bought.
Driver side power window motor broke.
General comments?
Despite a few minor things that go wrong with it, my Tempo is very reliable and has not yet broke down or stalled on me.
Even at 128,500, it still gets great gas mileage on regular roads and freeway (22/27mpg).
Engine still runs quite quietly.
