Here's a mugshot. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ercuryLynx.jpg

It's a Mercury Lynx. I came across one of these the other day and I realized that I knew nothing about it. From what years was it made? What is it's sister car? The Escort? Does that mean it has a 1.6L engine? Did it come in a 2 door model? And does anybody have one? :wink:

Sister car ? Looks like an old escort. A friend of mine had a escort wagon that looked real similar.

Ist generation escorts. Ford motor, not like ours.

I agree that the lynx is yuck..... unless it is diesel. The diesels last a long time. The gas Lynx is heavy and slow and doesn't get good fuel economy. It is like the escort. That is the first generation too. Nothing close to a festiva.

I worked with a guy that had a diesel Escort it was always breaking down on him!

My family has owned an '84 Escort since new.

We've never had any major problems with it.
