1992 Mercury Topaz GS from North America - Comments

The rear inside door handle broke, but it was my fault.

This car has good performance. The four-cylinder Topaz, from what I hear, is a lot slower at acceleration.

I've never had any problems with it and it looks great. All I've done is what the manual says. I know other people with the same car and they all say it's pretty reliable too.

I wrote this review and I forgot something. Although the speedometer only goes to 85 (which isn't marked numerically) it has a top speed of 105 maybe 110. I suspect it is limited by the computer. But since it's a V6 it can't be much slower. The Ford Escort has a top speed of 105 (computer limited) and it's a 4 cylinder.

I bought my very first own car last year, and it's a used 1992 Mercury Topaz GS. It's in very good shape, except for the rust.. Well, rust is one of the worst enemies of FORD cars. So my exhaust system will have to be changed pretty soon because it really has a Porsche sound for now :oP.

That's pretty much it, so one word to every FORD car owners: Live with the rust or buy another brand :oP.

I wrote the original review. I read the second comment and I have to say I have had no rust and the car is 9 years old. I just polish and wax it. To many people blame the material on the car for rust, but they never wash polish and wax like the manual says. It only takes about 45 min. to wash polish and wax. I do it on the weekend. When it's too hot, take it to a touchless car wash.

Just an update. I wrote the original review. Just hit 76,050 miles and still no trouble. I had it taken in for an oil change recetly and had some new tires put on it. I plan to take a road trip in my Topaz in the coming week.

I used to own a 92 Mercury Topaz.

Though I did put a lot of money into it for repairs, I loved that car. It drove well and had great handling.

I drive a 94 Chrysler Concorde now, but occasionally miss the Topaz. I only got rid of it because of an accident (rear ender).
