The Tempra was intended as a replacement for the Fiat Regata. The original project was called Tipo 3, being a mid-size car between the Fiat Tipo (project Tipo 2) and the bigger Fiat Croma (project Tipo 4). The Tempra shares its platform with the Lancia Dedra and Alfa Romeo 155. This was 1991 Semperit Irish Car of the Year in Ireland.

The initial engine range comprised 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 petrol units and normally aspirated and turbocharged 1.9-litre diesel units. [edit] Mechanics Fiat Tempra Station Wagon The Tempra's engine range was similar to that of the Tipo. Initially 1.4 and 1.6-litre models had carburettor engines. Both of these models were discontinued in 1992 due to the new European emission standards and thus all models from 1992 on had catalytic converters and electronic injection. Transmission was a standard 5 speed manual , but for the first time a mid size sedan was offered as with a continuously variable transmission already tested on Fiat Uno, Panda, Ritmo and Tipo. 2.0-litre-models were also available with an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. During the its 6 year production run few changes were made apart from a minor facelift in 1993 resulting in a new front grille and other minor styling changes. Chassis and main parts (most notably, the doors) were shared with the Fiat Tipo. Other vehicles, derived from the same project were Lancia Dedra (Tempra's most similar cousin, sharing all the mechanical components), Lancia Delta second generation, Alfa Romeo 155, Alfa 145 and Alfa 146. [edit] Equipment and trim levels Only two trim levels were available in its early years: standard and SX, both reasonably equipped considering its cheap price SX models for example, featured power windows, power locks, adjustable belts and steering wheel, front fog lights, body coloured bumpers, velvet upholstery, a futuristic digital dashboard and many other standard extras.There were also available interesting optional extras like anti-lock brakes, aluminium wheels, sunroof, electronic climate control, etc. 1993 facelift featured more trim levels from standard L models (only available with 1.4 engine) S, SX and SLX only available with 1.8 and 2.0 litre engines.An optional driver's airbag was another innovation that year. Standard dashboard on SX models Tempra Interior and standard dashboard on S models [edit] Reports Quattroruote, the most important Italian cars magazine, reported damages and defects of the cars in the market. These informations were useful for everyone who wanted to buy a car, and for automakers also, so they could find assembly line mistakes to improve their vehicles and give a better product. About Tempra, few damages of series were reported, but some defects that followed the car during its lifetime. First to be reported was a small water infiltration through the windshield gasket, plague that had once involved other Fiat's vehicle, especially Alfa 33, which in rainy condition used to carry a worrying quantity of water on board. Tempra's case was reported from 1990–92 and was solved with a higher quantity of glue in the assembling, and in fact the problem totally disappeared. Another reported problem was a high oil consumption, especially the 1581 cc engine, which was a common defect with Tipo (with the same engine) and Panda (1000 FIRE engine). The same was reported for other Fiat's vehicles, and seemed to disappear with the new 1.6 l 66 kW engine. On the same model, from 1994, the car started to show some electronic malfunctions, such as the electronic control unit, code key and electric system, probably caused by some components insufficiently tested, which were not totally compatible with a model projected at the end of the 1980s. A design flaw of the Tempra was its backlight (rear window) was too small and inclined and the tail too tall, so that it was tough to see behind in rear manoeuvres. This particular fact was common to 155 and Dedra, and was one of the reason for the "Station Wagon" had more success than the saloon[5], especially in the UK. [edit] Qualities Since the beginning, Tempra was presented as a cheap and reliable car. 1372 and 1581 were able to run long distances with a low fuel consumption, also aided by a high capacious tank of 65 litres (17 US gal; 14 imp gal) for sedan and 70 litres (18 US gal; 15 imp gal) for Station Wagon. Average autonomy for a 1.6 55 kW sedan was around 920 km (572 mi) (14 km/l), and consumption at constant speed was of 16,5 km/l at 90 km/h (56 mph) and 11,6 at 130 km/h (81 mph). All these were aided by a favorable aerodynamic (Cx 0,297) and only 17,2 PS subtracted at 100 km/h (62 mph), which was the best result among all the rivals[6]. Fiat Marengo (Tempra commercial) Other qualities were the strength and reliability, because the engine could be used in urban drive, extra-urban and highways without worryies, making Tempra a vehicle close to a family that left for holidays, with the trunk full of luggages, or anybody who drove through traffic jam facing queues or traffic lights. For its extraordinary load capacity, it was one of the companies favourites (the 1929 diesel engine), because they could exploit it in every working situations. Besides, there was Marengo's version (a title also used before with the Regata and later the Marea), that represented the commercial version of Tempra, with no rear seats and registered as a truck. Last in order, maintenance was cheap for the easy availability of replacement parts, making reparations and regular check-up simple and not costly. Fiat Tempra rear view [edit] End of production The Tempra was discontinued in Europe in 1996, and in Brazil in 1998. It was replaced by the Fiat Marea, which is based on the Fiat Bravo and Fiat Brava's platform, the replacements for the Tempra's sister car the Fiat Tipo. In Brazil 204,795 Tempras were produced in eight years,[7] and in Turkey, where the car was manufactured by TofaÅŸ from 1990 until 1995, 129,590 were made.

It seems that here in the UK we struggle with the concept of actually buying a four door saloon when a hatchback version is available. We looked with vague disdain upon the Ford Orion and bought the Escort, we broke out the barge poles for the Vauxhall Belmont happier instead with our Astras. The Volkswagen Vento received short shrift, the public happy to queue to join the waiting list for the Golf club. We could go on with the Lancia Dedra, the Peugeot 306 Sedan, the Renault 19 Chamade but you probably get the point. The Tempra never really whet our wallets and thats the key reason why it makes such a super used buy. Read on. Despite their superficially tinny feel, the Tempra is built to last and suffers very few mechanical, electrical or bodywork problems. In fact, a Tempra is amongst the most corrosion-proof of cars you can find. Once bitten by the metal moth, so as to speakAn Italianate saloon or estate that's competent in every way and a darned sight more inspiring to drive than a contemporary Escort or Astra. The cars are generally well equipped and offer very good value for money, if not the most inspiring interior quality. The digital dash on the SX models is particularly woeful. The driving position is excellent, however, with a rake adjustable steering wheel and a height adjustable seat. Space is utilised well, with four adults easily able to manage long trips without cloying claustrophobia. Most buyers will opt for at least an SX trim level, and will therefore enjoy central locking, electric front windows and door mirrors, front fog lights and an electric sunroof.If you can find one, its owner may pay you to take it away. If youre paying anything more than £100, make sure its a late, low mileage model in good condition.A fully galvanised body means that tin worm is hardly ever an issue with these cars. Such was the corporate paranoia in the Fiat Group surrounding the dreaded R word that Fiat went almost over the top with corrosion protection. The Tempra is not a badly built car but be wary of electrics in older cars - just check that everything works as it should and watch for oil leaks and leaky radiators. Trim materials can be a bit cheap and prone to wear on base-model cars. It could be worth haggling over, if you feel strongly enough. Don't be overly concerned by noisy power-steering pumps; they may sound strange occasionally, but they're mostly reliable. Some cars can suffer poor paint quality. Again, a cosmetic thing but maybe on the list of items that add up for negotiation with the seller.(approx based on a 1996 Tempra 1.6 saloon) A rear exhaust section is about £65. A clutch kit will be around £90. An alternator should be close to £190, a radiator around £125 and a starter motor about £100. Brake pads for the front are £40 and rear ones are about £45. A replacement headlamp is close to £90. Major and minor services are £200 and £100 respectively.As with many saloon variants of popular hatch models, the Tempra is probably better to drive than its hatchback sibling, the Tipo. Granted, you wont get the sporty 16-valve versions, but the added body rigidity and the extra beef built into the rear springs to accommodate the potential loading of the large boot results in a decent handler. The slow early 1.6 models are probably best avoided if you're looking for something to carry the kids and luggage, and the normally aspirated 1.98 diesel is no great shakes. The 1.9 turbo diesel is a useful performer, and will return a decent 48mpg average. The 2.0-litre version is really the Tempra to target, with a top speed of over 120mph, a ten second sprint to sixty and an overall fuel; economy figure of nearly 34mpg.You may be able to pick one up for peanuts but a well looked after Fiat Tempra is sensible budget motoring. It wont be particularly easy to sell on, but with the steep bit of the depreciation curve a distant memory, you certainly arent going to lose your shirt on one of these.
