I'll always remember
This car is one of a kind. The driving, looks, and overall car itself is a dying breed. Although this car had a lot of problems, it has a superior ride quality as compared to today's cars. Despite body roll and the like you never feel a hard turn pull on you. The car floats effortlessly through it. I had the misfortune not to get the eight cylinder, but it was OK for power after I got an intake and chip for it. It took many a hard hit from other stupid drivers and always pulled through and damaged the other car much more. I will always remember it.
driveability
You can drive this car all day and not get tired. Sticks to the road. I have a sports car and this Cougar corners as good. 3.8 is not super powerful but is just fine and gets 22 MPG with 230,0000 miles on it. Got 24 MPG at 56000 miles. 2019 and still running strong. Had to replace the Trans and head gaskets quite some time ago. I'm going to drive it until the wheels fall off. Only negative thing is there are no cup holders 2018 - Drove from Washington state to Georgia round trip. 8/2020. Still on the road. Replaced shocks a month ago. Odometer quit. Not going to fix. Replaced passenger window gear. Still cruising. 240,000 miles. 02/06/2022. Still running strong. Replaced front struts. 06/22. Replaced steering rack. Feb. 2023 -- Still running strong. New brakes last summer. Aprox. 245000 miles Feb 2024. Not using the cougar much. Have a Eurovan now so the Cougar is sort of retired from long trips. Odometer quit at 236000 last summer. It just won't quit. Still runs strong.

very pleased
We bought our Cougar used with approx. 75k miles on it in 2000. Three years later, at approx. 130k miles, no major problems. It's been in the shop for routine maitenance only. Drives very smooth and it's a great looking car for it's price range.
