1996 Mercury Tracer LS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear passenger window no longer goes down.
The springs had to be fixed.
General comments?
This car handles really well, it's a really fun car to drive on the windy back roads.
My friends gave me a hard time about driving a station wagon, but they eased up since its faster than their Jettas.
It's got decent enough power on the hills, even though it's only got a 4 cylinder engine.
It gets pretty good gas mileage, however the gas gage is a little temepramental.
Finally the stereo is not modified and is not all that bad, way to go Ford!
