1988 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"I love it and I wouldn't get rid of it, just change it a little"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 110,000 miles the tires got changed.
At 115,000 miles the tires got changed again.
At 120,000 miles the fuel pump went out.
At 145,000 miles the head gasket blew.
General comments?
This car is very fast for a V6, but its time on the quarter mile could be better.
Although the car looks nice and is very comfortable, that could be a little different too.
