The dash board lights went out, very bad gas mileage.
I get 13 miles a gallon, and now that gas in California is at $2.25 it is very expensive.
Sometime, the car turns of when turning, or when behind a red light.
The top speed of the car is only 80 mph.
The car has no leg room, it is very very small.
I love this car, its very quick, and it handles great.
It's my 1st car and I love it, we used it as storage for 5 years, i.e it was not driven for 5 years, but when I turned the car on after 5 years it worked there was noting wrong with. I have been driving it ever sence and it has no engine problems.
Sounds like a great car: a 4 cylinder that only gets 13 mpg, won't go faster than 80 mph and stalls out while driving.
You probably should have just continued using it as a storage shed.
How do you know your Tempo could beat a Mustang GT in a drag race? Or is that just wishful thinking? More like total fantasy, actually.
I don't think it can
i did beat a mustang the car goes from 0 to 45 in 4 seconds.
It's a little rocket I tell u.
Actually, I have a tempo, and even though the speedometer only goes to 85 or 80, I have gone about 95 in mine. I topped it out, but it still kept on accelerating. I can't say I know the exact speed, but it went at least 90 mph.
With the five speed you can squeeze about 120mph out of the little four banger if you just keep it gas pedal pinned long enough. You can (with the 5 speed) beat out the old 4 banger 'stangs, similar engine, but the tempo is lighter.
