1990 Mercury Cougar XR7 SC review from North America
"Best car I have ever driven"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that has gone wrong with this car is the drivers side window came out of the track at 245,000km.
General comments?
This car is absolutely amazing. The performance that comes out of this supercharged 3.8L V6 at 8lbs of boost is unbelievable. The full independent electronic suspension is amazing; kicks into firm ride when you give er' all she's got.
The seats are the most comfortable things I have ever sat in.
The faster you go in this car, the better it runs. It likes to be pushed. At the drag strip it is very hard to find someone to run against me on Friday night's when people just go out there for fun.
