1991 Fiat Tempra 1.8ie SLX (80kW) POV 4K[Test Drive Hero] #44 ACCELERATION,WORST CAR I'VE EVER DRIVE

[@igortchelzoff3736]

It's nice to make the necessary repairs on this car. The Tempra is not that slow or unstable.

[@testdrivehero]

That's obvious but the car was like that and the owner is who decides, not me unfortunately😅 Nowadays the car is fully restored :)

[@Mr.G0190]

a nice complete service, coils, spark plug cables, distribution and that engine will run at its best

[@testdrivehero]

Probably!

[@Mr.G0190]

@@testdrivehero this engine together with the other lampredi engines are eternal with ordinary maintenance, in my town there is a gentleman with a fiat tipo 1400cc with 550,000km

[@Hydra1704]

LMAO the weight of the dust from the seats must've affected the performances, thus the acceleration problems 😂

[@testdrivehero]

HAHAHAHAHA😂😂👌🏻

[@martinweizenacker7129]

I see the gearbox "singing" at low speeds is something probably all Tempras do (for example 6:56). I remember my grandparents were worried about this.

[@testdrivehero]

Well you know, it's just weird to see one of those still running on the roads... haha Thank you!

[@martinweizenacker7129]

@@testdrivehero Yes, indeed, very rare to see these days. I don't think it's a great car, never was, but somehow it does have character. The one my grandparents had was in need of repairs quite often, despite seeing little use, and the gearbox did the "singing" back when the car was only 10 years old.

​​@@testdriveheroPerché le auto straniere come Audi Wolkswagen Bmw e Mercedes, che sono delle vere merde non hanno sti problemi? Sapete solo prendere di mira l'Italia..... quanta gelosia.

[@yourtypicalgerman]

Well after 31 years it has some technical flaws and needs fixing. That happens to the best of us... And its not an unsafe car, probably needs new suspension parts.

[@testdrivehero]

Well I'm sure you're right because I think it needs a huge refresh, but since new, dynamic was a failed part of the car...

[@yourtypicalgerman]

@@testdrivehero Most of the English and German test articles I could find speak of excellent roadholding (see Top Gear Test 1990 for example). I had one myself 20 years ago. Safe and comfortable.

[@testdrivehero]

@@yourtypicalgerman I trust you for sure! But the age of the car and the feelings on my hands are opposite... and I'm not talking just for the "tired" suspension and bushings... Thanks for comment :)

[@matteorinaldi8197]

Well, I suspect you just found a damaged model. I own a 1990 1.6 carburetor Tempra, alongside with my 1995 Citroen AX, and despite the smaller engine the performances are very good; it still meet the official acceleration data, it's reliable and stability (especially with new fresh tires) is amazing. I'm just back from a trip from Italy to southern Spain and Portugal, almost 6000km in 20 days with no problems at all and good fuel consumption. Due to an animal on the road I made an elk test at high speed and it behaved better than many modern cars; extremely comfortable seats, just a bit noisy at high revs. I reached more than 180km/h measured by the clock (I get distracted on a empty motorway overnight). And the car has 240.000km on the clock.

[@testdrivehero]

Yes, totally agree, but the magic of my test drives is to drive a random car with unknown health. Of course the best as I can, but some times is very difficult to find some model, like the Fiat Tempra. Thanks for comment Matteo, really appreciate it :)

[@matteorinaldi8197]

@@testdrivehero Cool, so I hope you will find also a Tempra in good conditions to try it ;) In general, I am a passionate driver very attentive about car's feeling and performances: I can say that Tempra is a good car and gives the feeling of a classic, solid and reliable family car without anything exuberant; its comfort makes it an amazing car for long road trip. I wish you will find also an AX to try: this is the car on which I learnt how to drive and it has a very strong personality. My model isn't very powerful (1.0, 50hp) but it's very funny to drive thanks to its super direct steering and its very light weight. It's like a cat, you can change direction very fast, move well in the traffic and have fun with high speed turns. It seems to roll but at the end it NEVER loses the grip on the road. Passive safety may not be the best but so far is the safest car I ever drove with regarding keeping the road. When I was younger I used to drive fast and the AX saved me a lot of time while other cars may have slipped. Never tried a GT version but I guess it would be an amazing kart. Also with the AX I've done veeery long road trips across Europe and it's very reliable ;)

[@testdrivehero]

@@matteorinaldi8197 I want to test some AX, the 80s-90s PSA chassis were sooooo funny and effective to drive!

[@justaridetestdrive1586]

OMG the "elasticity"😱😅

[@testdrivehero]

It was terrifying...!

[@bgsancho]

FT06 BHD is a SEAT IBIZA number plate Colour Black Fuel type Petrol Date registered 31 July 2006 MOT expired on 23 January 2019 And Tempra is one of the most reliable and nice cars from early 90's. Our Tempra is made in 1990, just passing 434k kilometers with 1.4 liter petrol and lpg engine. Never had any engine repair, no oil consumption, smooth and nice car with dashboard from Starwars!

[@testdrivehero]

This number plate WAS, car has gone and now is to protect the real car and owner identity :). This Tempra is a survivor, reliable or not there's not many of them actually on the roads... Thanks for comment :)

This is a very rare car here in the UK in right hand drive, only about 3300 were ever sold here and about 20 remain today. The 1929cc diesels were fairly decent engines though. Is it difficult to get parts to keep these running?

[@testdrivehero]

Well, not easy to find parts on these days... The best way is to have one running and buying another one in bad condition with all the parts avalaible. Not an easy option of course.

[@testdrivehero]

Thank you!! The car is now with his new owner, and restoring it!

[@moofymoo]

futuristic dashboard and full size spare tyre, why it is worst car?

[@Danielagostinho21]

taking almost 50s from 80 to 120 might be one of the reasons

[@testdrivehero]

Yes, and my unsafe feeling on dynamic was massive... Even when braking!

[@sinanspearhead]

Are you sure that air filter is clean?...

[@testdrivehero]

Air filter, maybe spark plugs, and some other things it need to check for sure😅

[@erikleffi3911]

I consumi erano elevati. Buona la stabilità e il comfort (parlo negli anni ‘90). Affidabilità: uno schifo. Anche l’esemplare in questione ha le spie che si accendono e spengono. Non fu un successo per Fiat.
