1988 Mercury Tracer review from North America
"This car is a great investment."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My T-Racer has burned a little oil since the day I bought it. I can smell the oil in the exhaust, so I know the rings must have dried out while it sat before I bought it.
The exhaust has a hole in it, which makes it loud inside.
The air-conditioning needs to be recharged.
General comments?
This T-Racer is surprisingly quick for what it is. It's no mustang, but it's weight is light enough that a four cylinder is sufficient power.
This car is very reliable and is great on gas. My last truck got eight miles to the gallon, this gets thirty-five.
This car is just crappy enough to not draw attention, but solid enough to be a nice ride.
This car cost me five-hundred dollars and was worth every penny.
