1992 Mercury Topaz 2.3 from North America
Summary:
Best car ever! Never judge by the looks
Faults:
Passenger side door lock is broken (random lock crossed over-> easy to replace/ fix).
Muffler was just replaced October 07 (rust).
Steering rods are going to be replaced (just wear & tear).
General Comments:
Fantastic mileage.
Easy to drive, & gets up to speed quickly.
This vehicle was my grandfathers (who drove it about 2 a week to get groceries, etc), and it was bought brand new in 92, and when it came into my hand in 05' (he moved into a home) it had 25,000 kl on it and had absolutely no problems. I have doubled the mileage in the last two years, and I am a female driver, but I do have a lead foot & this vehicle does great on highway, & I never had a problem. Best gas mileages cost approx $40 (CA) to fill the tank.
Definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone.. I had heard about problems with other cars like it; but if it is well maintained and treated well, this vehicle is a blessing
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Does "something like 35 miles per gallon" mean actually 24-25 miles per gallon?
Cause what you are claiming for mpg is way more than much smaller 4-cylinders are able to achieve!
