1997 Mercury Cougar XR7 review from North America
"Incredible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have an Oxygen Sensor that's going bad, but that's all.
General comments?
I've owned 2 Cougars now in my life, and I have loved both of them. The first was an 89, great car, lost to a dumb driver who totaled it. My latest, the 97 XR7. Bought it for $1500. It was a sad day to see the great Cougars fade into history.
