1994 Ford Tempo GL review from North America

Radiator leakage near 70,000, replaced radiator.

Turn signal lever broke loose, but still can use.

Headlight knob broke loose, but still can use.

Never buy a car with power seat-belts! Mine went out around 75,000. When the belt went to come back over it sat and grind-ed. Can replace motor and belt, but I just yanked out the power cord and left the belt in position.

I think the factory brakes just now went out, if that is possible. This is my first car.

Power locks broke before I bought it.

I absolutely love this car. Its got a name for being an old-Ladies car, but its got a lot of power for a 4 cy, its gotten me out of places in a hurry when I needed it too. I've driven a more manuverable cars (Plymouth Neon) and those only beat it by a small margin on my part.

Factory paint job was done well as it shows no signs of rust. The seats and interior are much softer and nicer than even some newer cars. All instermentation runs correctly. I think my speakers are dying though.

Have driven it long distances without problem and doesn't really guzzle gas that bad. Very comfortable to drive. Still has a good A/C and the heater starts working fast.

Have had this car for a few years and I never want to part with it. I thought Tempos were only school cars, but I'll drive it till it dies.
