Fiat Tempra Saloon 1.4 4d (1991/H) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Very good bargain motor.
Costs
Overall not too bad, but can guzzle petrol if in bad mood.

On the road
Driving
Barge-like handling in town, but get this on a country road and it's magic.
Performance
Got plenty of grunt and punches well above its weight. Have skinned BMWs, MR2s and the odd Cav.

Living with it
Reliability
Ok with big stuff. Mine has annoying habit of stalling at inopportune moments. Also, crap electrics.

As Han Solo said of his ride, "It may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid^^
Comfort
Seats feel like they're hewn from solid granite, but ride ok.

Security and Service
Security
