First thing that came to mind was Aeromodder's dopey claims of Tempo's becoming airborne at highway speeds due to lift; problem was he was driving a P.O.S. that left a trail of parts on the road. Of course when there are suspension and/or tire issues the car is not going to be fun to drive. They are all old cars now and so there will be worn out parts. Put it all in good working order and get back to me.

So, if I may ask, with your Motorcraft experience, how do you think a ~1985 Tempo/Topaz or Escort/Lynx with the Mazda RF diesel would stack up? Obviously now quite as many MPGs out of the box, but they are close. I do have a preference to diesels. How would you rate reliability versus a Metro or even a Civic/CRX?
