1996 Mercury Cougar xr7 V8 from North America
Summary:
Comfortable and smooth running
Faults:
My electric cooling fan went at about 60,000 miles and the serpentine belt. Also, I had to replace both sides upper and lower ball joint bushings and sway bar link bushings as well. They are now made of neoprene a better rubber compound.
General Comments:
The car runs smooth and handles well. I upgraded to 18 inch rims with 245/45/18 which is the proper size for the car. its 26 and 1 half inches off the ground just like the stock 215/70/15 the car came with. the tires r wider and the car hugs the road great.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have a similar car. I just replaced the two Pins on the doors. My gear lever is loose and shakes a little. The mechanic says its normal. Is yours the same. Please email me on caje@rogers.com.
