1990 Mercury Cougar LS review from North America
"Reliable/bulletproof engine!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window came off the track. Was like that when I got it. Fixed it, all you have to do is put some really strong glue on the tracks. Temp gauge becomes hot in summer, to fix this just open the windows all the way and turn the heater fan on high, temp will go back to normal. Other than that very reliable car, never been stranded!
General comments?
Very reliable car! Still drive it daily with 150,000 miles with no mechanical problems whatsoever! Everything works! Very quiet and comfy ride. Highly recommend a Mercury Cougar LS with the plain 3.8 V-6! I average 22 MPG in mine!
