1996 Mercury Cougar XR-7 review from North America

Nothing has went wrong with the car so far.
General comments?
First of all, I want to thank the good folks at carsurvey.org, because after reading many reviews, I decided to buy the 1996 Mercury Cougar xr-7.
You people were right, this car is beautiful, gorgeous interior, power enough to spare, and my wife loves it.
The thing that sold me on buying this was that I like rear wheel drive, and I can't stand front wheel drive. I think I can trust this car, to go across the country if I wanted to.
Everything still works really well on it, all the power stuff, which is pretty amazing, because it is a 96. I have the six cylinder, which still has plenty of power. I would recommend this car to anyone.
