1991 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"A good, affordable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warped the front rotors twice.
Head gasket went after 170000 km.
A/C compressor went after 260000 km.
Other than that it's been regular maintenance (bulbs in the heater control burned out and are hard to replace or find).
General comments?
This car has good passing power, but is sluggish off the line. Is an overall good vehicle.
B.
