1995 Mercury Tracer review from North America
"Best choice for a first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Automatic shoulder belts had failed when I got the car.
Passenger window only rolled down about half way.
Engine had trouble turning over occasionally, but waiting 5 seconds and trying again always worked.
General comments?
The only thing I didn't love about this car was the automatic transmission... check out the same year of the ford escort for the manual transmission. great car, decent acceleration. I used it for traveling a lot during the first 6 months I owned it, never any problems.
