1990 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"My driving excitement!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New left head light.
Engine overhauled.
Transmission is slipping now. Not bad but I know it is coming time for a new one.
That's about all I have.
General comments?
Since I got this car, I did put a lot of care into it. I fixed very minor things and she feels as good as new. I must say she has never left me anywhere stranded. The engine is still strong and has no knocking or pinging what so ever! The only thing that concerns me is the trans. I might have to have it rebuilt. I will only because the engine is VERY strong. It would be a good investment.
