1992 Fiat Tempra review from UK and Ireland
"A nice car that is cheap to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at around 61,000 miles.
The alternator has just packed in at 74,000 miles.
The starter motor went at 70,000.
The windscreen wiper motor stopped at 68,000 miles.
The reversing lights stopped working, due to a worn pin in the gear box, at 62,000 miles.
The horn had stopped working when I bought the car at 60,000 miles.
General comments?
I love the car. It has loads of room inside, even more than the Volvo 240's have.
The engine has more plenty of pulling power at lower speeds, but lacks any pull in the higher gears.
The interior is plain, but practical in it's layout.
The car handles well for a family car, making the ride smooth and comfortable.
The boot compartment is spacious, but limited by the layout of the frame of the car. A big box, for instance, won't fit even though the boot has the space.
