Rear brake cylinders, both went after first year and a half (wear). Horn and wind screen wiper electrical fault, intermediate fault where they would not stop (lasted for two days, then stopped. Mystery). Carburetor seal perished, radiator leak, alternator light constantly on in the damp and needed to replace wiper assembly.
I love this cars personality, which in the past four years has given small problems (nothing too bad). Has been very reliable and with 124000 miles on the clock, keeps on going. Will not out run the police with the 1.4 engine, but is cheap to run and I love it better than my previous Audi 80 sport (fast, great handling, but boring). If they still built this car, I would buy another.
It is funny you write about how your audi 80 was replaced by the Tempra. I have had a Tempra for 10,000kms and want to replace it with an audi 80. That is a 1.8 inj., manual to a 2.0 auto (audi80), the latter of which has 2 less bhp. I am thinking long and hard about it - the Tempra is very rare here and the Audi is quite common...
I own a 1992 Fiat Tempra with 284,000 km. I can honestly say the car has been extremely dependable, only minor problems. The engine runs smooth and clean and burns no oil. The body is showing its age, but the car has certainly surprised many people who dislike Fiats.
