1991 Ford Tempo review from North America
"A oil eater"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There was nothing wrong with my car when I first bought it. Things started going wrong when I started drive to college. The car burns and leaks oil regularly. I would have to add at least 2 quarts of oil a week. The automatic seat-belts stopped working after I bought it. The passenger side door won't open. The A/C doesn't work. Other than my major oil problem, the car ran well. Overall, I loved my Tempo, but I had so many problems with it.
General comments?
The Tempo runs well and gets great gas mileage. It handles great.
