1988 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8 from North America
Summary:
Tolerates a lot without maintenance
Faults:
After 317,000 there has only been very well deserved minor repairs... Nothing engine wise, just the fan belt at 300,000 miles..
General Comments:
This car has been the best car I have ever owned.. I put a lot of wear and tear on this car, it rarely got an oil change.. maybe twice...and the same with having it serviced... I bid farewell to my old friend.. My Cougar never let me down...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had a 1988 Mercuy Cougar V6 3.8 and it was a great car... lasting 170,000 miles until the transmission went out, or else I'd still be driving it. No major problems with it, except a head gasket at 130,000 miles which cost about $1,000 to fix.
