1997 Mercury Tracer four door review from North America
"Great fun to drive gas saver!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really went wrong, but at about 100,000 had to change all fuel injectors after that the car ran like a champ.
General comments?
I was forced into buying this car, but was very glad I did. I have put this car threw the ringer and still runs like new. A/C always ran colder than the north pole. The only thing about this car is if you ever want an aftermarket radio its really hard to replace the stock one. I have taken this car where it should never have been and made it back in one peace. If I had a chance to buy another in a heartbeat I would. Road trips tend to make your legs go to sleep, but other than that it's a great overall gas saver that will never stop. In my book the best most reliable little car out there. A++
