1987 Ford Tempo GL review from North America
"This is one tough car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Rear Struts I had to replace due to about 800 pounds of concrete mix I had placed in the trunk for my job.
The Headlights are turning Yellow.
I had to replace the serpentine belt because of the alternator shredding the belt.
General comments?
The interior is not very spacious.
Good reliable car.
Takes everything I have ever thrown out to it and keeps on chugging along.
Good gas mileage and acceleration for the year and size of the car.
