1988 Merkur XR4Ti review from North America
"Handles like a dream"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New tranny.
New drive shaft.
New rear transfer box.
New fuel pump in the gas tank.
New fuel filter.
Very little paint chipping.
Driver's side seat (front) is starting to pop seams (happens on all leather though, especially at 13 years old).
General comments?
Awesome performance. Very fast.
Can take a 120 foot cruved 90 degree corner at 65 mph!
Handles like a dream.
Still has the original suspension that lowers the car 2 inches at 40 mph and above!
