1994 Mercury Cougar XR7 review from North America
"The cougar has been the best sedan we've had. In looks, size, and response it has served well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission needed a part change after the recall or within the extended warranty, 1996.
The rack and pinion had to be changed in 2005.
The paint on the trunk has gotten thin and splotchy.
Leather interior has held up well. Now there is one creased cut on the edge of the drivers seat.
General comments?
The engine pickup and response is quick and the car handles well.
The seats are comfortable.
The rear seat shoulder straps were perhaps first on this car.
The sporty look has always been a good plus.
The interior design is sporty, comfortable, and well designed.
The gas mileage has been better on the highway, up to 22 mpg. The lowest in town ranges 15 to 18 mpg.
