The Tempo was only slightly larger than the Ford Escort and was sold alongside it for many years. The Tempo was equally cheap when it came to the build quality of the car. Its plastic interior was known for breaking apart as soon as the car left the factory. The styling of the Tempo was also as boring as you could get. The Tempo was a car sold in millions of examples, but it wasn’t a quality product, so you don’t see a lot of them on the road anymore (via Curbside Classic).

The Tempo had the look and feel of a cheap car, which is why none of them lasted very long. These cars were extremely unreliable and prone to rust in their heyday. The Tempo was a car Ford positioned as an economic leader but it couldn’t compete with the likes of Honda and Toyota in terms of quality.
