1978 Mercury Cougar XR-7 review from North America
"Lead sled luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just little things like hoses, etc.
I had a problem with the brakes, but that, like most of its problems, was the fault of the previous owner.
General comments?
I love this car, I'm 16 and this is my first real car. I bought it with my own money and wouldn't trade it for any other car in the world.
