We had a 1986 Tempo 4-door with a manual transmission. Both my wife and I knew how to drive manuals so it was not an issue. Nice car, decent performance and It could get 40 MPG on the highway. Later I had an 87 2-door sport Tempo. Nice car as well. I bought it to fix and flip, although registration was a nightmare. I sold it to a friend who drove it for several years.
