1990 Mercury Cougar xr-7 review from North America
"One word: Underrated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator at 70000
Power window motor at 73000.
General comments?
Off the line, this car is stellar. Very quick for it's weight of almost 2 tonnes. Gorgeous monochromatic black exterior gathers many stares everywhere it is seen. Excellent seats and a very strong drive train complete the car. With very few modifications, the Cougar XR-7 is more than a match for many cars. An absolute value for such a rare car.
