1988 Mercury Cougar RX7 from North America - Comments

So far no major problems.

I love this car. It is like driving a Mustang without the price or notoriety. I would definitely recommend power lovers to buy this car.

I had a 1988 Mercuy Cougar V6 3.8 and it was a great car... lasting 170,000 miles until the transmission went out, or else I'd still be driving it. No major problems with it, except a head gasket at 130,000 miles which cost about $1,000 to fix.

I have a 1988 Mercury Cougar LS.

I LOVE this car, it runs great and can free up the tires at anytime.

I have beaten Mustangs in this thing.

Only problem is a couple weeks ago we met up with a telephone pole and smashed the hell out of the front end, but that's OK because I'm fixing it now. Hard to find right front fenders for this car (must be because they're so good people never junk em), found one yesterday, sending it to vo-tech to let the kids bang out the dents and paint it. I hope they do a good job, but this way it only costs 200 bucks instead on 2000 for this car shop guy.

If I could do it all again, I think I would do it all the same (except for the telephone pole thing).

First off it's an XR-7, not a Mazda RX7. Next how did you get a 351? Isn't it a 302?

I just got an 88 Mercury Cougar and I love that car. Plenty of passing power plus great handling equals a car that I'm proud to say I own.

I love my 88 merc it has been grate and has power low end and top. no one makes it past me so far.

Flaws I have went through many fuel pumps keep it above 1/4 tank and you should be good.
