"Don't buy a tempo! a n owners nightmare"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car was a nightmare. It refused to drive in the winters.

The alternator had to be replaced.

The electrical system was a nightmare

The radiator blew twice

The engine died at least 5 time a week.

General comments?

This car is a nightmare, I purchased it for 450 Canadian dollars. I would never recommend this car. It was too unreliable. The electrical system was horrible. In the winter, the transmission was as slow as a turtle with no legs. The engine was loud, the exhaust fell off. The interior was poorly designed.

Sure it is a piece of junk...$450cnd only buys 4 good tires!

Imagine how good it might be if you spent$1000.

It was probably such a piece of junk because you got it cheap and whomever owned it before you must have not taken care of it. Of course the interior isn't going to be that of a Corvette, but look at the year it was made... I mean sheesh, I'm not complaining, mine is fully loaded and is very much luxury like.
