Tempo costs

7 per cent more

“AT CONSTANT dollars, a typi- cal 1989 Tempo costs less than a comparably equipped 1984 model, despite a host of product im- provements,’’ said Jack G. Clissold, Ford of Canada vice president, Sales and Marketing.

“A 1989 Tempo L, equipped with a popular ‘extra value package’ that includes air condi- tioning, dual remote control mir- rors, electronic AM/FM _ stereo radio with clock, interval wipers and sports instrumentation, retails for $10,995,” he said.

“In 1983, when Tempo was first introduced, the 1984 model would have cost $10,027. That’s a dif- ference of only $968, which also includes $255 in increased federal taxes.

“Excluding the taxes, today’s Tempo buyer is paying only seven per cent more for this car than five years ago, while the consumer price index has risen 25 per cent in the same period. Today’s Tempo also includes as standard features -— essentially at no extra charge to today’s buyer — a five- instead of four-speed transaxle, electronic fuel injection, reclining seats,

- larger wheels and tires and a

high-mounted brake light,’’. Clissold said.

Today’s Tempo comes in two- or four-door models, and can be equipped according to five dif- ferent series packages. These in- clude the Tempo All-Wheel-Drive, which is particularly convenient for driving in cold weather climates like Canada’s. All- wheel-drive allows the driver to direct power to all four wheels at the flick of a switch, improving traction and handling in poor driv- ing conditions.

Driver-side air-bag supplemental restraint systems also are offered as options as GL and LX four- door models, a feature that safety-conscious drivers may find particularly appealing.
