1994 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"I absolutely adore this car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One of the sensors in my transmission overheats and causes it to red line the RPM before it shifts.
The solenoid in my starter is starting to go bad.
The power lock doesn't lock the driver side door.
General comments?
I was given this car for my 18th birthday and I absolutely love it.
It was previously owned by an elderly couple and they took very good care of it.
My father owns a Ford Taurus SHO and when we parked them side by side, my step-mother commented that my car looked like my fathers only smaller. "It's a baby Taurus." she said.
Aside from a minor ding in the passenger side rear door, there are no flaws on its exterior. Although, it is a bit dingy from sitting on a car lot.
I think these cars are great for new drivers.
