Hot Car-Couple BIG problems

I've had my 99 V6 just under 4 years with few problems. But a couple repairs would have been costly had I not purchased the extended warranty. I LOVE the look, the drive is Great! It corners tight. It is the best car I have EVER driven on ice and even snow. The biggest problem is the seats. All of the seats are tremendously uncomfortable and you could not take this car on a long trip. Because of the low-slung design, the blind corner in the rear side is larger than other sport cars. The remote trunk hatch did not work for 3 years - was replaced many times. My headlights did leak water and had to be replaced.

Overall Good Car

Ive put 10000 miles on my car in 5 mos. Im in the military so I drive a long distance from home and base. I have experienced no engine problems, besides the fact the check engine light is almost always on.The electrical part is another story. The driver side window goes down but not up, and the doors lock automatically sometimes. Otherwise it drives great, runs excellent, and looks really nice. This car in my overall opinion is its a good car with typical car repairs. The car runs very well over long distances. I did buy it with a warranty so its all covered anyways.

I have had my cougar for around a month now, and it is great. It is a very fun car to drive (it's a v6 5speed). Its definately got nut when you want it to. The back deats are real comfortable, big trunk. If the backseats are folded, it's bigger than my bed. The only thing I do not like about the car is the center console, it's kind of a pain. Other than that, it's all good.
