1993 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Pretty quick and very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator had to be changed at 145,000 miles.
Some of the light bulbs keep burning.
I have the automatically retractable seat belts and the motor for the driver's side seat belt stopped working at 148,000 miles.
General comments?
I was surprised with how reliable this car is.
The car is actually pretty quick even with the 4-cylinder engine, but with manual transmission. I wish it had an tachometer.
At highway speeds in this car it feels like you're going way faster.
