1992 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"Excellent, reliable car if rust free"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing engine wise the 3.0 litre is unbreakable. Rust killed this one. Floor shifter rusted through the floor. Very rust prone. Factory muffler system excellent. Poor struts. Handles like a full size car. Not the best looking. Poor headlights, very dull. Leaked oil, from the main seal. Struts leaked oil.
General comments?
Good fuel efficient car, very peppy for the size. Tried to kill the motor and tranny, but unsucessful. Would not want to quit.
