my wife had a tempo that wasnt too bad. Not a problem with it. I would say the worst car I have ever owned was in 1996, I was a college student, husband and father badly strapped for cash, I bought an 1985 Olds cutlass supreme from this old lady down the street from me (nice 500.00 car I thought) It had 56K miles on it but dang was it a ***. I had to strategically time every movement with that car. It accelerated soooo slowly I was threatened by people behind me all the time (really physically threatened LOL). The brakes sucked and when I went to fill it up when I got it, I couldnt understand why it got such poor gas mileage, Well it was because if you put anymore than 5 gallons in it, it would leak out of the tank. GOOD GOD I am lucky I never blew up!
