1993 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"This car is awesome"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter went out on it 220000 MI
Front control arm bushings rotted 218000MI
Rear springs worn out.
General comments?
I originally bought a 92 tempo from a friend when it had 200000 miles on it and I drove it around a while till I totaled it. I then bough a 93 tempo from the junk yard and put that engine in it. I now have 236000 miles on the engine and trans. and still starts right up every time I turn the key.
I have also designed many modifications for the engine and with the 5-speed trany it really moves.
