Author's 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 going to have to put money in that car, since it is so cheap".
Well, I sure did. I had it less then a year, and It's been in the shop probably 7 times. New Brakes, Starter, All tie-rods, battery, muffler, and a bunch of other little things, that all add up (not to mention a transmission leak, that's been leaking for years.)
OH, and for the interior problems. Two out of the four windows don't work AT ALL, they neither go up or down. The "power locks" never work, and the car makes a lot of noises when idle. The ride is pretty rough, and loud. I am currently looking for a new car, hopefully a 1994 Honda Accord. It tells you something when a car like the tempo is recommended 25% of the time, with 2 out of 5 stars, and the Accord is recommended 95% of the time with 5 stars!
