This car is very comfortable. Has air bags and a cd player along with am/fm radio. I never had any problems with the other than a loose ground wire and my heating leaking at one time. Both problems were fixed. It's still in excellent condition on the outside. On the inside, it's got a few stains in the floor carpet due to my heating core.

I bought this former loaner car from dealership. Dealership lied, it had been in rear end accident. I paid cash and bought this as a "beater" car for on the road sales. I never intended to keep it long. But, this car has been awesome. NO problems. I have had a love hate affair with it since purchase. I am now looking to replace it, and as much as I want a new vehicle, I will miss this car due to its reliability. It owes me nothing and delivered far more quality for the $ than I ever expected.

My First Car

My first car!!! I love it I wanted something different that no other guys had. When I drove up in it the guys kind of laughed, but when I put 13x7 inch wire wheels on it with a 1200 watt system in it they gave me respect. It is good on gas, very reliable, and pretty quick for a 4 cylinder.

I just bought my third Tracer. Obviously, I love these fun to drive, , get great gas mileage and reasonable to maintain, autos. I bought a 1998 with 68000 miles. In the last four years, I've driven a Fiesta and owned Sable. Truly a case of too small, too big. Back in "Just Right." Also, I love Mercs. With the cancelation of the line, I will give diligent attention to my Tracer. Maybe drive into the sunset....

I bought this as a used car. The sensor is going on it which makes it really frustrating. It was very nice until the engine light came on and the sensor was the issue. Seems the sensor thing is an ongoing issue for most owners. I have 1 child and we need something reliable. Hope it all works out with a good mechanic.
