1993 GL V6 Tempo - 1993 Ford Tempo
By D. Goodrode - July 2 - 12:43 amGot it with 86k on it, needed complete tune-up, 3.0 V6 is great, trans has no O.D. or lock up converter, but shifts great, (shades of the 1960s), put 10% over size tires on front, get 22 to 26 MPG average, everything works on the car, 42 Degree A/C on 95 Degree days, change oil with 15w40 Diesel oil every 4k miles, runs like a Swiss watch, no oil leaks, usual maintenance items, car now has 102k on it, good riding car, kind of boring to drive, but so far very very reliable, good daily driver, what more could you want for $900.00? Looking for a reason to get a newer car but the darn thing just wont give me a reason to retire it!

keeps on chugging - 1993 Ford Tempo
By dumbo - September 21 - 1:08 am198m000 miles with no major repairs what more do I need to say. I want a new car but how can you give up on the "humbler" (thats what we call it because its a humbling experience to drive the "humbler").

1993 Tempo - 1993 Ford Tempo
By Matthew Belcher - May 13 - 2:32 amI have had excellent luck with my car. The only thing that has been wrong with it is that the speedometer cable has made noise throughout the years. I have had it fixed many times by Ford, yet it still makes noise. The car rides rough, and doesnt do well in the snow. Otherwise, very reliable, no big problems at all.

Good car - 1993 Ford Tempo
By Serega - October 4 - 2:00 amI got this car a year ago, and so far heres what I think: It may not have an outstanding exterior/interior, the ride and handling is average, and the limit of 80 mph is definitely not too much. However, I didnt have any major problems with it, only usual maintenance. I particularly like 126ft*lb at only 2000-3000Rpm (4cyl) - you can outrun most of the cars if you wish when you start at traffic light. So my impression is: Ford Tempo is a good car to for beginners. Reliability strongly depends on the way the car was maintained.

Well pleased with car - 1993 Ford Tempo
By MrSoundman - June 16 - 2:00 amI bought this car from a friend in 1998.It has the 4 cylinder engine. It had 140,000+ miles on it at the time I bought it.I have driven for six years and 50,000 miles with only minor problems (mostly normal wear items).I did have some problems with the power door locks not working properly. The original transmission finally failed at 194,000 miles but the original engine still runs great and all the accessories still work including the AC.I cant decide whether to fix it or look for another Tempo.I have been well pleased with the car.

Wont Stop Running - 1993 Ford Tempo
By MPJM - May 20 - 2:00 amI really like the car. It has a lot of get up and go still left in it. I really having V6 engine and I like having the 5-speed manual. The engine has never ever broken down on the first owners or on me. The only thing that is wrong with the car is that the right- rear doors lock will not come up and the window motor died. And I only have one power door lock left. The A/C is ice cold. Very good car to drive and reliable car.

Lookin To Improve - 1993 Ford Tempo
By The car named Ned - December 9 - 2:00 amI am a high school student and this car has always worked for me until about 150,000 miles...which is a lot. Now the car seems to have expired or something. One of the front ball joints needs replaced and the rear strut mounts have both broken in half....Hence the loud banging noises. Yet "Ned" still gets me where I am going. Now I am looking for something a bit more reliable as I start to travel more.
