1989 Mercury Tracer LTS review from North America
"Great entry level used cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first bought the car.
The transmission gasket leaked
The gas tank leaked
There was a bad O2 sensor.
General comments?
I have in the past owned other small Ford/Mercury products. I have found that the for the most part the are very abused and in need of repair. That is not to be confused with them being lemons.
I find my car fairly comfortable, nice to drive, and cheap to fix. I only find the car lacking in power. They have more than enough torque, but could use more horse power.
They are great cars for the entry level car used car buyer.
