1993 Mercury Cougar XR-7 3.8L V6 from North America
Summary:
Very Reliable Beast
Faults:
Leather seats have become worn out on both the driver and passenger sides.
Headlight switch malfunctioned and had to be replaced for a reasonable price.
Water Pump and Alternator both went out at approximately 135,000 miles.
My rotors are warped like crazy, I plan to fix this as soon as possible.
General Comments:
The car steers like a champion, very small turning radius, great handling!
Ample room in the car, I haven't had any complaints and I have had a multitude of friends pile in.
I wish the V6 would accelerate quicker, but it is understandable for such a heavy car. The car is very quick from a punch though.
She runs well at high speeds. I have gone upward of 100 mph a couple times. I'm sure she can top 120, though I cannot admit to going that speed myself.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I topped mine out at 110 and couldn't push it much more.
I'm very pleased with mine though. Except for the fact the window motor on the drivers side has gone bad, and I can't put my window down to open it on the outside, on account that I disconnected something while trying to unlock it because I locked my keys in the car. All that has forced me to crawl our of it on the passenger side.
But I must say I am pleased with the power of it.
