The definition of "lemon"

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 1999
Review: I have a 1992 Ford Tempo, and I wish I didn't. This car is the definition of the word lemon. Everything that can go wrong with a car has gone wrong with this one. I have replaced two starters, the alternator, and all of the hoses. The electrical...

A beat I'd rather not dance to.

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: The 1992 Ford Tempo GLS offers good acceleration, but it's lacking many attributes that other vehicles offer.
Review: Introduced in 1983 as an '84 model the Tempo was a sales success for many of its 11 years in production, and in its day was quite the proverbial 'eye candy'. Today most of us frown upon Ford Tempo's. The Ford Tempo has set a negative example for...

Runs well for age

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2000
Review: I have just started driving my Ford Tempo (it's a '92 model)that I share with my brother. The car is about 8 years old and has only needed minor repairs. My father drove it before me and my brother and he only had it worked on for minor adjustments...

I guess I got a "good" one...

Date of Review:  Sep 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great car for the budget-minded driver. Mine has already paid for itself 10 times over.
Review: I purchased my 1992 Ford Tempo for $350 about two yeas ago. Since then, I have had to replace the clutch and front wheel bearings...That's it! The car now has 150,000 miles on it, uses no oil and the motor is still strong. No, it won't win any...

too bad the suspension is awful

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2000
Review: This was my first car, I got it the day I got my drivers license. It was used, but it seemed like a good deal. And not to say anything too bad about it, this car served its purpose and got me around safely throughout high school and my first year at...

What a disaster!

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2000
Review: It's a cheap car, good for a "first" car, but then again...maybe not. I bought the car from my sister for $1,000, it is a 1992 Ford Tempo GL. I probably put about a $1,000 into it already. My dad warned me though "You get what you pay for, you are...

Great little car

Date of Review:  Jun 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great Car for its price.
Review: I purchased my 1992 Ford Tempo GL with 99,300 miles for $3,000 cash in 1999 from Crawford Auto Center. I still own this car to this day, but I recently purchased a 2002 Dodge Neon. This Tempo is just a reliable car, since i bought it in 1999 I have...

My first and last Ford.

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: Don't ever, EVER buy one of these cars. Or give one to your kid.
Review: This is the first Epinions review I have done for a car. I usually stick to PC games and the like, and it might seem silly to review such an outdated car anyway. But I'm sitting here with nothing better to do and some things to get off my chest...
