1993 Mercury Cougar XR-7 review from North America
"Great car if it was the V-8 version"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump went out at 126,000.
Heads warped at 127,000.
Spun a rod bearing 130,000.
General comments?
Most comfortable car ever.
Handles decently around corners.
Performance from 0-60 SUCKS.
Performance from 60-100 SUCKS WORSE.
I've clocked my 0-60 and 1/4 mile times at 11.4 and 19 seconds respectively. Not what I expected from a cougar.
