1989 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the head gaskets.
Replaced the radiator.
Weird noises coming from front right wheel well.
Possible windshield leak.
General comments?
Very nice car.
Good performance for being 14 years old.
Very reliable.
Plenty of legroom for my tall cousin, with the power seats.
Has a big engine.
Big tires for handling the corners.
Rear wheel drive is a challenge in winter.
