1992 Mercury Topaz review from North America
"Best car ever! Never judge by the looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger side door lock is broken (random lock crossed over-> easy to replace/ fix).
Muffler was just replaced October 07 (rust).
Steering rods are going to be replaced (just wear & tear).
General comments?
Fantastic mileage.
Easy to drive, & gets up to speed quickly.
This vehicle was my grandfathers (who drove it about 2 a week to get groceries, etc), and it was bought brand new in 92, and when it came into my hand in 05' (he moved into a home) it had 25,000 kl on it and had absolutely no problems. I have doubled the mileage in the last two years, and I am a female driver, but I do have a lead foot & this vehicle does great on highway, & I never had a problem. Best gas mileages cost approx $40 (CA) to fill the tank.
Definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone.. I had heard about problems with other cars like it; but if it is well maintained and treated well, this vehicle is a blessing
