1988 Mercury Cougar LS 5.0 EFI V8 from North America
Summary:
Best older car I have ever owned
Faults:
One of the few things that has gone wrong with this car was the muffler, but that was my own fault; besides that, this car is indestructible.
Also, unfortunately around 160000, one of my vacuum pumps has sprung a leak.
General Comments:
This car has pretty good handling and performance, especially seeing as it's as old as it is.
The cabin materials and upholstery could have been a little more higher quality, but for this year and brand of car, it has exceeded my standards.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I agree, the 1988 mercury cougar xr7 is one of the best cars I've owned. The engine in mine hit about 180k before basic maintenance was needed. e.g. alternator and starter.
