1990 Mercury Colony Park LS review from North America
"Fords answer to the dependability issues of domestic cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air Conditioning needed re-charged.
Alignment required.
Power windows and locks malfunctioned on 3 of the four passenger doors. rear passenger side door still functions (weird). I think it is a ground problem, but I will be taking it in to get it looked at next week.
Trip odometer doesn't work.
Glove box latch jammed.
Rust.
General comments?
This is the second full size ford station wagon I own. The panther platform with the 5.0 litre engines are the most dependable vehicles I have owned. I also have a 1988 Country Squire and 1989 Lincoln Town Car which I love just as much. The wagons are very comfortable and enjoyable to drive. When things go wrong they are very easy and inexpensive to repair. I also have power window issues with the country squire. Much better gas mileage than an SUV. There are still some wood panel wagon enthusiasts out there! Not too many SUV enthusiasts. Ford defiantly was the "Wagon Master" in its day.
