1994 Mercury Cougar XR-7 review from North America
"A great car with the performance of a Mustang!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Before purchasing the vehicle the driver's side window wouldn't go down. The dealer fixed this for me at no charge.
It makes some really weird noises from the right front tire. Not sure if it's something with the brake or if it's something with the tie rod end.
The brake light comes on for some reason.
At 138,000 miles it has just now started to leak oil. Before then I only had to put oil in it once every 3000 miles.
General comments?
For a V8 my car gets great gas mileage. I'd say it gets about 20 miles per gallon in the city and about 25 miles per gallon on the Highway.
I have never had to put the car in the shop for anything at all.
This car is powerful and has beaten several mustangs and other rival cars.
Great for road trips.
