1990 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"Car is a good looker and spunky"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car needed a full brake job when purchased.
Air conditioning not working.
Control arm bushing needed replacing.
General comments?
This car is as quick as it is comfortable. At high speeds I feel a little insecure as the rear feels like its not tight enough for high speed turns on the highway.
For street driving its the best. The 3.8 is just enough power to keep me free of the usual wanna be speed freaks while not a loud super fast car that will get me pulled over a lot.
