I do have to say, that the tempo's do ride really nice, are reasonably quiet and the seats are comfy. But other then that, they were really cheap cars. The 2.3L was underpowered and I think having a 3 speed auto hurt that engine. Tempos with the 5 speed manual were wicked fast, but the with auto, are slow as hell. Did Ford ever think of putting a electronic 4 speed auto in the tempo?? That would have been better.

I think a 4 speed auto was only available with the 3.0 vulcan V6 engine from 1992-1994

[giannial1985]

@91Taurus Just looked it up, the 3.0L used the 3 speed auto as well. But it worked well with it, compared to the 4 cyl.

@giannial1985

Ah, well thats stupid. Seeing as how that same engine had a 4 speed in the Taurus

At least the Tempo got the 3.0 with a 5 speed manual option. I would have loved that in a Taurus....not counting the SHO which I already have

The more I watch, the more strange 1990 seems... clothing, hair, etc. :)

This was taped in 1989, before the new 1990 models hit the market. And thats obviously not how everyone dressed

I've lost count of how many times she says "Preferred Equipment Package 226A"

[ActiveWorldsLunitic]

Anyone else notice that she said "a slick and temporary family car" instead of saying "a slick and CONTEMPORARY family car" like she was supposed to?

I had a 1994 Ford Tempo. It was a great car. Since new it has only had 2-harmonic balances, 1-starter, and one front transmission mount. Not bad for 330,000-miles on the same engine/transmission. Original alternator and water pump. The transmission did finally die at 330,000-miles due to running low on fluid because of a small fluid leak that I didn't know about. I gave it to some kids in my church and they put another transmission pump in it and are still driving it today.

I think "PEP" packages might be a bit optimistic... Double digit horsepower and all...

I wish it came with leather.

1 person drives a Chevy Celebrity im sorry but i had to say it

[jakesaintsrow123]

@ScaryGhost1 These later models were really good cars actually..not sure what your problem with them is

[ScaryGhost1]

God help us shoud any of these 'things' still be creeping around American roads...terrible car

[giannial1985]

@wtl1964 Your friend must have had an after market transmission put in. All tempo's from 1984 to 1994 had a 3 speed hydraulic controlled automatic with no 4th gear. The early models, 1984 and 1985 had a 4 speed manual and then there was a 5 speed manual ;-)

[wtl1964]

@giannial1985 dude im not shitin you it was a 3 with overdrive it said 1, ,2, ,3, overdrive

[giannial1985]

@wtl1964 Nope, all tempo's had 3 speeds for automatics, with no overdrive. They were hydraulic controlled too. Just look it up.
