Talk:Fiat Tempra

Funzi rewrite

I've written this article simply translating from the italian one, that I've written too. All the informations came from the italian car magazine Quattroruote, published at the time when Tempra came on the market. You can verify them at 100%. If there's a problem with the form, I can correct, but all the informations are exact. I can write you down the fonts;

• Quattroruote - February 1992
• Quattroruote - May 1991
• Quattroruote - September 1992
• Auto - May 1990

These are the fonts. About the Defects and Qualities, I can change the names of paragraphs, but the informations I've written are important. All the informations were from Quattroruote, from the section where they talked about the problems they found in the cars at the time, so anyone who's interested to know more about a car, I think should know all those things. Thanks, User:Funzi159 —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC).

"especially because "weekend" is the Fiat term". The term "Weekend" wasn't used for Tempra. The Tempra is Station Wagon, and you can find the achronim behind the car. I own two Fiat Tempra, a sedan and a Station Wagon, I know this is the correct term. Fiat used Weekend for other cars like Regata, Marea, Palio, Duna, and others, but not for Tempra. Sorry for my mistake with the language and wikification, I can improve the article, but, I repeat all the information are correct, I know this car by memory. user:Funzi159 --Funzi159 (talk) 19:30, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all this. Sorry about the Weekend change. I was basing that on Fiat's normal practice for the other models you mention. However, I wonder if the part about "Weekend" is true for all global markets? I'd be surprised if it was called "Station Wagon" (as opposed to the "Estate") in the UK, although it does happen occasionally (Land Rover and Peugeot have done it sometimes). – Kieran T ^(talk) 19:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Needed adjustments

I think the article has some good info, but the Defects and Qualities is not generally wikipedia stuff, I think the whole secton should be removed..the horsepowers were also wrong, I chnaged those to metric ones, there might be some errors still, the fuel consumption figures should be changed to L/100 km --— Typ932^{T | C}  20:05, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I will adjust that part, if it's the same. I can make all the informations in one paragraph, just to give complete view of the vehicle history. What about the horsepowers? They're all informations from Quattroruote, thay can't be wrong. Also, some informations are from the documents of my cars (about 1.6 75 hp and 90 hp), so they can't be wrong. Please, tell me anything you think is wrong, and I tell you and eventually fix it. Thanks, User:Funzi159 --Funzi159 (talk) 21:06, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

If the powers are from Quattroruote they are metric horsepower (PS or CV, and PS is used in english wikipedia)) and not hp which is standard used in USA. --— Typ932^{T | C}  21:25, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Station Wagon

Links down here are some pictures of Fiat Tempra Station Wagon. You can see the achronim SW that means station wagon. Both Estate and Weekend are wrong, and as I wrote before, I have one and I have no doubt it's station wagon.

The second picture is a british model, and it's SW anyway. The term Weekend, as I said before, was used in other Fiat models, but not Tempra. If we want to give correct information, we must write Station Wagon. User:Funzi159 --Funzi159 (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Rewrite

Sees to me that large chunks of this article need rewriting more from a grammar and flow pov than anything to do with the information itself. Anyone got any thoughts? Le_Reve —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.174.220 (talk) 12:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

References in Report/Qualities sections

I've added the informations about the sources for these two sections. As I mentioned before, the main source is Quattroruote. If someone can please remove the template, Thanks. --Funzi159 (talk) 11:02, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

You can remove it by yourself, if you have added reliable sources, usually online or then detailed source book7magazine with page numbers, so that it is easily verified by other editors/readers --Typ932 ^T·C 15:14, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the template. About the sources, they are from Quattroruote, the most reliable italian cars magazine. --Funzi159 (talk) 22:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

din vs ece

whats the difference between ECE and DIN horsepower? -->Typ932 ^T·C 17:33, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Very slight differences in the way the testing is done, see here for more. In the end, my goal in including this info is that some markets used DIN, some ECE, and some used other measurements. Including all available data is a way to avoid constant changing back and forth and explains otherwise peculiar minor differences. The data is mostly from Swiss Automobil Revue back issues, since they were kind enough to list all available specs.  ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃  (talk) 22:14, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

I have never seen these ECE horsepowers before on any car data.... I have had 2.0e of these and it had 113 PS if I remeber correct there was nothing about ECE horsepower on users manual...wonder what markets uses this ECE.. -->Typ932 ^T·C 13:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

113hp in the 2.0 i.e. indicates ECE output, which has largely replaced DIN in Europe (I guess several countries had issues with simply adopting a German norm). I believe some form of ECE is the current standard for all cars sold in Europe, except maybe the UK as always. Look here for another EEC standard.  ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃  (talk) 18:26, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Horrible picture of tuning and not original version

I add photo of original 1993 version to replace the horrible tuning version — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.98.99.111 (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Tempra Marengo — clarification of seating (2 or 5 seater?)

The Marengo is cited as being a two-seat van variant, but lower down as a vehicle that could transport five persons in comfort. Have I misunderstood? A clarifying edit from someone in the know could help (and the second comment is in non-standard English anyway). Humboles (talk) 22:43, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
