1989 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"For a car that looks like it does and cost what it does, you can't do better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The water pump 665,000
The radiator which caused the head gasket to crack 70,000.
General comments?
Rockin' ride, for the money you need to spend to get one. I don't know of any car I'd rather have.
