"love it"

I have only had this car for about a month, bought it broke down because the previous owner did not replace the timing belt and it snapped. I fixed it and now i love it. Its nickname is the go cart, not much power, but gets you where you need to go. It also gets awsome gas milage.

Extremely Reliable. Easy & cheap to repair.

I've had my Wagon for nearly 10 years & has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever had. A 1993. Bought with under 200k. Now have 360k for the 1st time just replaced the timing belt. Died on me returning from work on the highway. Belt tore. Non interference engine. I've heard these cars can be 1/2 million mile vehicles. Still getting 30MPG. Never failed routine maintenance. Car has been my home also. Think I may keep it till the wheels fall off. Tell people the age & mileage, peoples jaws drop. A manual 5 speed. Heart breaking cars aren't made like this anymore. Parts are cheap. Easy to repair yourself if you have the know how & desire. Best car ever!!

Great car
Pros

Great gas mileage.

Cons

Seating a little cramped. No cup holders.

I bought this car 5 or 6 years ago. It has always had great gas mileage. Very low maintenance, just regular wear and tear for a daily driver. This was my husbands favorite car until he had a wreck 3 days ago. The car was totaled, but my husband didn’t get hurt. I would have definitely recommended this kind of car, even though it was an older model.

1995 Tracer Trio with Manual Trans. is economical
Pros

Economical, reliable, attractive, Its a Mercury

Cons

Low power

The 1995 Mercury Tracer Trio is a classic, practical, compact sedan that comfortably seats four adults. Average gas mileage is 38 miles per gallon in mixed driving. City only mileage averages 32 mpg and freeway only is greater than 40 mpg. The Trio trim includes a leather covered steering wheel, alloy wheels and a rear spoiler giving it that cool track-ready appearance.

Cons

none really cup holders awful

I bought this car from a friend of my sons it was her grandmothers car and she could no longer drive..they were the only owners so it was s 1 owner car...My son and his friend tuned it up and replaced a few things as it had been sitting for over 2 years..I paid $750 for it and here we are 4 years later and the car is going strong..very minor repairs the ac compressor, brakes..nothing major..gets great gas mileage I love this car as a matter of fact shes getting a tune up today!! now the only reason i put 9/10 for comfort and convenience is because the cup holders are horrible but it is a 93 and they have come a long way with it

This car has been a great economy car!
Pros

great gas mileage, great engine

Cons

its economy.. it could be more comfy

I received this car from my grandmother back in 2004 with 14,000 miles.. Now almost ten years later, it has 156,000 miles. In that time period it has been very reliable, and I have put very little money in to it besides normal maintenance; tires, brakes, oil changes, wires, exhaust once, etc. A few issues are starting to raise now but I would think that is expected with a 20 year old economy cat with over 150,000 miles. Engine still runs great.

Mamamobile

This car was wonderful for a poor single mom with a kid in far flung schools. I drove my kid and other people's kids day in and day out, by golly, and this car was reliable and capacious. It fit the kids and their gear and all the groceries, too. It deserved and earned the title of Mamamobile! And it was never a target for theives or vandals...always a plus point. I recommend this manufacturer and any similar vehicles to moms everywhere!
