The best description I heard of the ***tek was "Man, it looks like an 89 Lemans h*mping a Sunfire!"
So, how did you like your Ford Tempo? Yeah, I thought K cars were crap too, but so was everything else then. I remember liking the styling and layout of the Renault Fuego Turbo. Ended up with a Fiesta, which wasn't too bad.quote:

Tosh, I would beg to differ. Having been a part of the car buying public at the time, AND having comparison shopped at the time as well, AND actually comparing these things new to other offerings of the same timeframe, my opinion of the K-cars was at the time and still is much in line with Steve's.
You're joking , right Tosh? The K-cars and Tempos were ugly but the Fiesta "wasn't too bad"?quote:
I had an orange one as rental car shortly after they started selling them in the US. It was a fun car, definitely not your typical dead feeling US econobox of that era. It felt like it wanted to play instead of like it was being overworked keeping up with traffic.quote:

I thought the Fiesta was quite easy to stay on top of. I'm not opening up any more if you're teasing me about it. I already took enough punishment for having an orange car.

How about torque bump on the K car? I had a standard, and the engine moved around on it's soft engine mounts (to smooth out the 4 banger, I suppose) so much, it would actually bump the tranny out of gear on down shifts. I was awfully glad I went for the 6 month trial lease, as they got that car back.
It warms my heart that there is something on this forum that we all can agree on - how bu** ugly the Aztec is![]()
'80s Pontiac Lemans was a Daewoo but alot of the componants were made by Opel. the quality wasn't bad though.quote:

I heard that the '80's FWD Pontiac LeMans was a Kia with a Pontiac engine. Is this true???
