1993 Mercury Tracer 4 Door Sedan 1.9 liter from North America
Summary:
Great reliable transportation
Faults:
My Tracer has not had anything over $400 in repair at one time just recently I replaced the mass air flow sensor and the car still runs like new.
General Comments:
This is my second Mercury Tracer I use it for work and back and drive another car for leisure, but both my 95 and now 93 tracer has been a great car I would have course would like to have had more horsepower, but it is definitely one American car that I know is worth the cost.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I also own a 1993 Mercury Tracer and it is my first Ford product. I've owned it since March 30, 2005.
This has been a great reliable car.
The only thing to go wrong was the heater core went out.
Not very expensive to fix---$180 for parts and labor.
I've had the timing belt replaced as part of routine maintenence. On these cars the timing belt operates the water pump so my mechanic recommend replacing it along with the belt. Cost of timing belt: $20 Cost of water pump: $40
Labor charge: $150
And I've changed transmission fluid once and the oil changed every 3,000 miles.
That's it. And I've put 20,000 miles on this car since owning it and mine has 250,000 miles on it now!
I've never had a car that is more dependable than this one.
And my Tracer's interior is good also.
