1989 Mercury Topaz L review from North America
"I love this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, the only problem I've had was the alternator failing.
General comments?
When my truck started having problems, I swore I would never buy another Ford.
I'd heard many, many bad reviews about the Tempo and Topaz, but I went ahead and bought one. So far, it's been excellent.
I bought it a month ago, had a mechanic check it over. From some of the problems I noticed driving it, I thought I would be spending over $1,000 on repairs. I'll be spending half of that.
