Nothing but problems

I got this car 6 years ago with 20k miles on it. I keep up with all the maintenance. It has done nothing but fall apart. Head gaskets, engine block crack, the computer went and fried all my sensors twice, motor mounts, bad breaks wear out frequently, front end problems the tire fell while driving, catalytic converter problems, suspension problems

I bought my Cougar (4.6L V8) with just over 100K on the clock. I sold it to an 18 year old kid for $1000, and it had 238K on it. I loved this car! Bulletproof motor! Transmission was rebuilt at 195K, but that is better than expected, at least as good as a foreign vehicle. Perfromed well with 205hp. Interior comfortable for long trips.

My greatest complaint the entire time we have been together is the lack of drink holders! It seems a small thing, until you goose her and there goes your drink into the passenger's lap! I love my car and it breaks my heart beyond words to have to part with her. We know each other; I know and appreciate her turning radius (about the size of an old Mercury dime!), I know she would rather be on the highway than in the city. She has NEVER EVER failed to start. NEVER. EVER. In 25 years! That's why I listed RELIABILITY at five stars. I listed the SAFETY at four stars because this was the last year they made this package (XR7) and in 1994 they started putting airbags and antilock brakes in vehicles. I should probably rate the TECH lower than four stars, but it's not her fault she doesn't have GPS, etc.! It wasn't her time. Adjustable driver seat and steering wheel; automatic shoulder seat belt for front seats ... have never seen that in another car. There are a few small cosmetic things inside, but overall she still looks great. She's all red. Inside and out. And on a sunny day, you have never seen so much red in one place in your life! She needs a paint job (aerodynamics on the hood has worn paint off center front); only now is the clear coat coming off the trunk lid. She's such a good girl ... She does pretty good with the fuel, even now. About 250 miles on a tank full, including city and highway. 18 gallon tank. New fuel pump January 2017 and she has not run right since then, and I believe it has affected the fuel mileage. She's all I have ever known ... I have really high standards for any new vehicle! Nothing will ever compare :(

Keeping It in the Family

VEHICLE: 1994 Mercury Cougar XR7, 3.8L V6 (231.4ci), 140 hp, Sequential Multi-Port Fuel Injection, EEC-IV, 4 Speed Auto Trans (Electronic Auto Overdrive), Disc Front & Drum Rear Brakes, Preferred Equip Pkg. 260A. Not to get too deep into on how I acquired my Cougar; however, a close relative purchased this car new. I knew this car and always liked how it handled, had plenty of power (for a V6), liked the looks, and even worked on it a couple of times. It has always been garage kept in Southern Nevada, so the body has virtually no rust and the paint looks great. I purchased the car (mileage 69k) with the assumption that it ran only needing some hoses and general maintenance. When I started it up, rusty water (not coolant) was pouring out of a busted heater hose. Come to find out that another relative ran the engine with no coolant causing it to drastically over heat. So when I removed the No. 2 & 3 plugs a mixture of oil and water came out. When I drained the oil it was a mirky grey showing water was throughout the oil system. Needless to say the Head Gasket was blown. At this point I remove the heads finding a couple of the cylinder walls were scored. I then felt it was best to remove the block and took it to the local machine shop for and overhaul (short block). They found that one ring on the No.3 cylinder was literally welded onto the piston from extreme overheating and couldn't be removed. To be completely honest, I was more than impressed that an engine that had that much internal damage actually ran. So the block was magnafluxed (no cracks), crank turned, cam polished, .020" over pistons installed, etc. The total cost for the short block overhaul, heads and intake manifold completely reworked was around $1,800. If you look at it, the cost was pretty reasonable. Since I had gone this far with the engine I made the decision to go ahead and do a numbers matching bumper-to-bumper restoration (not a retro mod). Anything that had to do with the drivetrain was either overhauled or replaced (radiator, water pump, heater core, fuel injectors, fuel pump, rear differential, sensors, transmission, etc.). Suspension components replaced (bushings, front & rear end kit, shocks & struts, etc.). All major wire harnesses checked out and rewrapped along with keyless and security system installed. Interior is in good shape and just needs detailing except for the driver's seat which needs to be reupholstered from normal wear. New carpeting is also being installed. Found a rear spoiler (factory option) the same color I am installing. I figure that when I am finished I will have around $6,000, which of course doesn't calculate in my labor/time. The only thing that I am truly disappointed in is that I can't find a proper rear brake conversion kit in order to have disc brakes front and back. Ford doesn't manufacture the majority of parts for this car anymore, but fortunately with aftermarket manufacturers and the use of the internet you can find good deals on quality parts. There might be a number of people who think that what I am putting into this car isn't worth it. Granted, this car can't compare with the value of a fully restored '67 Cougar; however, in my opinion, this generation Cougar has good lines and was designed well (this coming from a primary GM guy). The primary mechanics of the car is identical to the same year(s) as the T-Bird. There were many built, maybe too many during those years. The bottom line for me is that there are going to be issues with almost any car, but I feel that the '94 Cougar overall can be a dependable vehicle as long the proper maintenance is kept up on it.

The 93 Coug

I bought my Cougar in 1998 and drove it until 2004. I really liked this car and would recommend it, however it was not trouble free. The head gaskets blew in jan 01 - $1200 to repair. Driver's side door window motor stopped working twice - $300 each time to fix. The doors are heavy and the weight of the door caused the pins to bend, making it almost impossible to close the door. I had to start having passengers climb in and out of the passenger side window. The rear wheel drive is a major problem in winter - lots of fishtailing and difficulty getting up hills.

I owned this car for some time. I keep it mechanical. Two things. The comfort of this car is the worst I have ever felt. You feel every hole. I had to bring this car to the mechanic every other week to check the front end. Second, this is the worst car in the snow and ice. You slide all over and is very dangerous. Since 1993, the only problem I had is the fuel pump. Its reliabile, but don't buy this car.

Beautiful car but a total pain to keep rolling

3 of 5 people found this review helpful

My '94 Mercury Special Edition Cougar XR7 with a six cylinder engine was purchased with about 60k miles on it and it looked and worked great for awhile. However, only 20,000 miles later, it blew a head gasket. I do 99% of my own work but I allowed a professional mechanic to handle that one and he did a good job from all I can tell. However, I forgot to mention that the car was rear-ended soon after its purchase and the other guy's insurance company wanted to total it out. Hey, nothing doing, I protested, a decision that might have been a tad hasty. There have been continual leaks from the driveline ever since, possibly because I suspect that mechanic changed the motor mounts w/o disconnecting the driveline, otherwise no other problems owing to the accident. However, I've always been extremely dissatisfied with the car's ride, which is akin to rolling down a rough dirt road in a buckboard, so different from the fantastic '69 Cougar my father owned that it is like night and day. Now THAT was a car. My Cougar, in stark contrast, bangs over every bump and anything in the trunk sounds like a snare drum. It does drive nicely over the open road but not nearly so well around town. Oh, it corners like a champ and has the tightest turning circle of any car I've ever driven, the mirrors are great, and it was very reliable up to about 100,000 miles. But it has had nothing but problems, big and small, ever since. The oil dipstick holder broke off, if you can believe that one, and it cannot be replaced without pulling the entire engine, which the Ford folks told me is an $800 job!!! Are you frigging kidding me? 800 bucks to replace the oil dipstick holder?!!! I had to pass on that one, which shouldn't be too much of a problem except that the lube and oil folks look at me like I must be very lax in the maintenance of such a nice car. I just kept track of the mileage, knowing how often it would need a quart of oil from past experience, but soon thereafter the odometer went out (a very odd coincidence) and you couldn't keep track of the mileage anymore, and you must replace the entire instrument cluster to get the odometer functioning again. It's several hundred bucks to do so, that is, IF you can get one. I've replaced the radiator twice, the alternator recently for a whopping $140, the serpentine belt, the idler pulley that keeps the belt tensioned properly (the Ford mechanic didn't realize that said pulley has left hand threads even when asked if that was so after I'd struggled with it for a long time). About six months ago I had to replace the rotors and pads on the front disc brakes. No biggie, it's not a difficult job, except that one of the anchor bolts simply fell out recently and I had to replace it and check the other brake, practically redoing the entire job all over again. You're supposed to use red (permanent) locktite on those bolts but you can barely get them off if you do, a bit of a quandry. I used blue locktite recently, hoping it would hold well enough so I don't lose a bolt again, but of course I'm worried about it. There are coolant leaks popping up that make no apparent sense, even with a new radiator and hoses and everything tight as a drum. You tell me. Oh, and now, both power windows don't work. What's next? I'm less than thrilled with the lack of reliability of this tempermental car. I'll take the old technology any day, where you could crawl under you vehicle and SEE just what's going on above the chassis. CHASSIS? What's that? Good old unibody construction is about as dumb a supposed advance as truss construction and blown-in insulation for your home's roof. It's like, who cares if the attic is unusable and it gets 180 degrees up there, just begging for a fire to start that will burn down your house and all your prized possessions in a few moments when the summer heat really gets cooking. It's about as sensible as replacing paper bags with plastic at the market, where they throw an item or two or three in one bag and there's absolutely no logic to bagging an order. People come out of the store with a cartload of 20 or thirty plastic bags. Why not just throw all the groceries into the trunk w/o any bags at all? I vaguely remember when this country used to be something to be sort of proud about but the memory of the so-called good old days is fading fast. I dunno, maybe the US was always a sad joke purporting to be such a wonderful social and political experiment, at least on paper. Probably when we stole the land for it from the natives who'd been here for tens of thousands of years before our arrogant ancestors showed up, it set the stage for some very bad karma, but who knows. I do know that we continue to make stupid mistakes and these stupid new cars are a good example. At least my '94 Cougar has some actual style, unlike those overpriced, gaudy, plastic-ridden little boats they're pushing today. But you know, you can't stop "progress."

I purchased this car used at 4 years old. Drives like a dream in the summer, bad in winter for slipping around! Only have had 2 major repairs and 1 minor repair since I've owned the car in 12 years; as others have stated, it blew the head gaskets (after the recall expired), a window motor on the driver side door failed, and the air conditioner failed. Paint has deteriorated after 16 years but the Cougar has been a great little classy ride. I'm just getting ready to trade now.

Have had this car for over 100,000 miles and have done no major repairs, except transmission at 90,000 miles, which was due to a defective torque converter (factory recall I missed). Absolutely not a single problem, at all. Rides nice, handles great, very reliable.

We purchased our 1994 Mercury Cougar brand new 13 years ago. I am happy to say that after owning the car for 13 years, I still love the car very much. It has proven to be very reliable car and still runs and rides like new, even though it has over 110,000 miles on it. I think this version of the Cougar is one of the nicest cars ever built by the Ford Motor Company. Its a shame Ford discontinued making the Cougar. The Cougar had style and still was roomy enough to use as a practical family car. How many people would say they would buy the same car again, if they had the choice after owning it for 13 years. I definitely would buy this car again if I had to do it all over again!

Had 3.8L V6 Auto. The car was used when I got it. Cheap interior components, but nice leather seats. Alot of squeaks and rattles. Lots of body roll and little stability in turns. The engine would have been at home in a compact, but it felt like a dog was pulling this car. Mileage was okay for the size of the machine. Poor radio quality. There were no electrical issues. Terrible in snow. I remember driving this 1993 Cougar and thinking of my Dad's 1994 Sable. The Sable had the same motor and trans, but felt much quicker. The Sable had a nicer dashboard, roof liner, A,B, and C pillar covering. The Sable road much more smoothly. The FWD in the Sable made it a much better candidate in the snow.

I bought my car two months ago and have had now problems until now. For some reason the car is not getting oil pressure and it is not the oil pump and I was told that it could cost over $1000 just to have it looked at. This is the only problem i have had with my car other than the odometer not working all the time. Also some times the gauges and other electrical systems will fail, like the back up lights. other than these problems the car is great. This is an awesome car and would be great with out these problems! Just make sure that you have it checked out be a good reliable mechanic before you buy it.

Head gaskets blew on me at about 100K miles. It kind of went down hill from there w/ one minor thing after another. If you have one w/ considerable miles on it and have had no major problems yet, sell now b/c they are coming. You might end up spending more money to fix it than you can get for it.

This vehicle is all original never wrecked and has no rust it drives just as good today as it did the day I purchased it, it only has 94,000 original miles. Very reasonable to operate and maintain all original insides and outside paint. I will never sell this vehicle again, I sold it once and after one year I bought it back from the same person that I sold it to. I have never regretted buying this vehicle back it is truley one of akind.

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.

I can let mine sit for literally weeks, then start it without even getting in the drivers seat. Has never broken down or stranded me anywhere in the 6+ years I've owned it, and I'm 3rd owner.No idea how many miles are on it, as the odometer broke at 275K, but it's gotta be pushing 500K original by now..And the only things that don't work at the moment are that odometer, and the passive seat belt for the driver. Other than that, pretty much looks, runs, and drives like it just came out of the showroom in '93

Interior still looks really good, almost new looking. <Really it does! WE HAVE GOTTEN OUR $$$ WORTH OUT OF THIS CAR.

I bought this car with 37,000 miles on it (it simply wasn't driven much). Lots of power, but at the expense of fuel efficiency (18 mpg on a good week, with 89 fuel @ $2.40/gal = pricey). I hope Ford found out how to make interior door panels that don't peel off, because every Ford/Merc I've been in has had this problem. Also, the A/C knob tends to slip off even when gently pulled. But on the bright side, the car is VERY reliable, powerful, and fun to drive.

I miss my Cougar

I bought my Cougar new, and it always started well. I had it for 14 years. On occasional weekends, I'd drive from Albany, NY to Hartford, Connecticut and back, which is a distance of approximately 250 miles round-trip on three-quarters of a tank, and the drive was very smooth and extremely comfortable. I always enjoyed the rack and pinion steering, which handled extremely well - like a smaller sports car. The transmission performed well, shifting well up hills at 55 mph. Eventually, however, the transmission needed work. (I was never informed of the torque converter recall.) Nevertheless, I miss my Cougar very much. I recently traded it in for a Nissan Frontier pickup, which I needed.

I have owned my 1994 Special Edition Cougar for about 6 months and I absolutely love it. But the only thing I don't like is the performance and availability of performance parts.

I have had my Cougar since Sept 97. It has the WONDERFUL 4.6 V8 It takes off with the slightest touch of the gas pedal. The car handles very well and corners like a much smaller car. The seats are very comfortable and give excellent lower back and side support. Braking is very good and the anti-lock and traction control system's have worked well in the winter. I now have 123,560 miles on the car and no major repairs. The only problem is the shudder in the transmission. I have not changed the Tourque Converter and at 123,500 miles everything is ok, So all in all The Cougar is the best car I have ever owned!

Owned a lot of vehicles and this is by far one of the best I've owned. The 3.8l is decent. The car shudders when it idles but doesn’t seem to bother anything.

I have lost my car back in June it was one of the best cars I have ever had. It was a repair that I could have had fixed but I had no job so I I had to let it go. Hopefully one day I will own another one... That was the 2nd used cougar I owned...
