1995 Mercury Cougar xr7 review from North America
"The most balanced all-around American car since the'72 Skylark(GSX)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tie rods have bent, ball joints have broken (1 broke/ replaced both), fuel sending unit/ fuel line/ pump-system needed replacing as well as the fuel tank.
General comments?
The towing ability that this car has is amazing. From 40mph to 80 mph, this car screams. It's a perfectly balanced car and reacts truly when pointed. It still has the look of the cat that was soon lost on the down-sized models. I'm looking for another with the V-8 with fewer miles. I noticed the average price on this 11 year old car goes up each year. Cult car, I guess.
