1994 Mercury Cougar XR7 review from North America
"Very reliable and sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car has been excellent. Replaced 2 oil pressure sending units at around 170,000 miles. Transmission rebuilt at 185,000. Catalytic converter replaced at 155,000. Brake calipers and rotors replaced at 145,000. No engine problems at all.
General comments?
The car has a very nice interior, very roomy. The engine is strong and will accelerate quickly for a large car. I recommend only the V8, as the V6 has been known for it's unreliability. I love this car, and plan on driving it until it finally quits on me.
