1990 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"Very nice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C has gone out at some odd mileage.
I had a cruise control problem.
General comments?
It was my aunt's car and she gave it to me for my sixteenth birthday.
She bought it from a dealership in 1990, and has had nothing wrong with it.
In 1994 a bad driver (an old person) somehow bumped the shifter on the dash into reverse in traffic and didn't know it, and when the light turned green she went flying back into my aunt's Cougar.
She had it fixed.
It is a nice car, and at first, I hated the car, but now that I have seen how many people admire the Cougar, I love it to death.
I had Weld Racing 16" Tomahawk wheels put on the car, and a supercharger, and I have two fifteen inch Orions in the trunk.
I catch everyone's eye now, it may not be some high priced sports car, but it (in my eyes) is worth more.
