1990 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things I had go wrong were the brakes, and a light bulb in the dash because I have the digital gages, and the power steering pump is on the way out.
General comments?
I love how comfortable the ride is! I have a set of Enkei 18" chrome wheels on it. In addition to the $5000 dollar paint job I had put on. It started out from the factory with silver it is now silver with a blue pearl. I had the windows tinted 20% all around and the windshield is 35%. I have a JVC Kameleon head. In the trunk I have a 820 watt Akustic amp pushing 2 12" Rockford Fozgate Punch XLC's. Bringing the power to all this is blue Monster Cable 4 gauge power wire. And I have Street Glow Glod Series underneith the car and I had to go blue! And to top that off is the 4 5x7 MB Quartz in the doors.
