1993 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"This is a good running, reliable, economical American vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased this car for $250, and it needed a mass air flow sensor, clutch, front rotors, and rear struts.
I replaced all of the above, and this car is now like the day it was new.
General comments?
This is a very reliable, great running little car.
Fuel economy is very good.
This car is not fast, but has very good power for it's 4 cylinder engine.
This car is a pleasure to drive, due to it's 5 speed transmission and quality of my particular vehicle.
Styling is lacking, however I believe that a nice set of aftermarket wheels will improve it's appearance dramatically.
I wish that there were more cosmetic and performance parts available for this vehicle, as people obviously do not realize the potential that this car has.
