93 tracer wagon
been a good car with very little upkeep, only real problem has been the brakes pads wear out fast
Great Car
I bought this car new and now after 10 years it has 90k. Car was in storage for 4 years and all I had to do was replace the battery. I have had no major problems with the car. I drive it a minimum of 50 miles a day. I had one minor one that the accelerator was sticking and Ford fixed it easily. This car is very reliable. I live in cold country and it has always been reliable. Fun to drive! I would definitely recommend this vehicle!
Keeps on goin'
This car was given to me by my grandmother when she passed away before I was able to drive so it sat for several years. Took some regular maintenance to get her up and running again but since then it has kept on putting on. Not exactly the sportiest or fastest or best on gas after 15 years, but that is expected. For a free car I am getting more than I thought I would get. I keep expecting her to just die on me but she still starts every morning and gets me home every night.
Very good car
Bought the car brand new in 1993. It now has 152,000 miles on it. The only major problem has been the AC compressor and a radiator leak. The best thing about it is the gas mileage. On the interstate it's 36 MPG. It ain't no speed demon but keeps up with traffic nicely. Idle's rough but moves along normally. Economically, best car I ever had. Replaced radiator. Now, no leaks, uses no oil, very dependable.
Good little car
I purchased the car new in 1992 and have had few troubles. It has 95,000 miles on it and just now has some transmission problem. The car hesitates when cold, the mechanic said the trans needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Up til now it has been reliable. And the car is fun to drive.
