1986 Ford Tempo review from North America
"I actually MISS this car, and I drive something 11 years newer now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car (VERY RARELY) stalled during sudden stops.
General comments?
I loved this car dearly, and was very, very heartbroken when I had to junk it.
I purchased it used from an old woman who only used it for grocery store trips, and the car was easily worth every penny I paid for it and more.
The car SURVIVED a very serious highway accident (other person's car was deemed a total loss, mine merely lost it's STEEL bumper and suffered some minor to moderate body damage) and continued to drive the way it always had until I regretfully put it to rest a few months afterward.
