As a 12 year old in 1994 (last year of production) I fell in love with this car. My parents were car shopping at the time, and I insisted so much on this one being a great deal, that they bought it. It was a super reliable car until it was traded in 2001, and I still love it!!
We are the same age and I had the same obsession. Too bad we were building a house at the time, so a new car was out of the question. Our '90 Aerostar was a good substitute, though.
Ford really spec'd these quite oddly back in the day. GL (which is a higher trim level) No RPM gauge, manual windows, but it has a CD player. Would love to have this car though.
Wow what time warp! I had 1989 2.3L 5-Speed 2 door light blue with blue interior back in 1997 when I first got my drivers license. Seeing as I was in high school at the time that car could fit 7-8 people if people sat on laps in both the front (passenger side of course) and back. Plus it was amazing on gas! When the Low Fuel light came on I could still go 60-80 miles easily. I managed to drive it right up until July 2003 when the rear strut tower rusted out but aside from that just oil changes, spark plugs, cap and rotor, belts once, and brakes were the only things I had to do to it. Thanks again for the trip down Memory Lane :)
I learned to drive in a 1994 Tempo very similar to this one except it was an automatic, four cylinder, different wheels and a blue interior. I have had two Tempos since then, a '94 2 door and a 1987 4 door. This definitely was a throwback for me too, would not mind owning another. Thank you for sharing!
this car is currently for sale and selling on the bring a trailer auction site. Here is a link to the auction you can bid to own this rare Tempo bringatrailer.com/listing/1994-ford-tempo/
@@wrxin17 Probably far too much for my $2,500 tax return budget but thank you anyway. We would love to feature something like it on our CZcams show Motors 'N Misfits.
My dad owned a 1992 Mercury Topaz GS 4dr with a V6. He kept it till 2001 when he bought a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis GS. He liked to Topaz better than the Grand Marquis. His topaz was very reliable and a great road trip vehicle. This Tempo looks like a brand new vehicle. What an awesome time capsule!
Makes me miss my 1992 LX V-6 badly. The LX had lots of nice little things over the GL, such as cloth door panels, nicer upholstery, thicker carpet, upgraded gauges with tachometer standard, etc. God i miss that car!
I have a 93 Mercury Topaz! He's bright red and still with white wall wheels! Not as clean as this one here with bits if sun damage, nd a small broken front left bumper piece; works like a charm A

My dad had a 93 V6 model just after I graduated high school, I got to drive it a few times. It was a nice car. It had a peppy V6 in it.

I had 1992 GLS V6 5 speed manual. For this era its powerfull. 200 kmh...yes its possible.

The Tempo with the V6 and 5 speed manual is a perfect fun combination !

I've had three of these and there were far better than remembered. My favorite one was the 1992 GLS with V6 that Road and Track called "Lil SHO"

Been looking for a manual one of these or the 2dr 92-94 Ford escort love these❤❤
I have a 1994 that was my great grandmas, still working on fixing it up all the way but have a taurus SHO for so it should be fun in the end!

One exactly like this is parked outside my house right now
Strange specifications, CD player, manual windows, alloys not the polycast wheels. Clean car, had a 94 myself
Wow that's mint
Cool😀
I miss that car I can’t find it :(
Tengo un fort tempo 93,. nesesito unos repuestos gracias
$$$$???
Not worth the price, even if all parts were refurbished. The price range should be between $6000-$9000.
Ford still had 5 digit odometers in 1994, Jesus Christ…
