1997 Mercury Tracer review from North America
"Fantobolistic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 172,000 due to stuck thermostat.
General comments?
I'll be expecting to surpass 200,000 miles with this car. At 173,000 still has original clutch and still drives well. I have has this over 100 mph numerous times for short periods. I think we both need to blow out the carbon on occassion. Thishas been a GREAT car- a real blessing.
