what a junk
ive had my cougar for a while now and till this day it gives me problems. the second day i bought i took it through a car wash and the side mirror broke. and ive had problems with the engine too. i dont think that car is worth $23,000 thats how much i paid for it cuz it was a special edition but man its not worth it at all that why my ex drives it now cuz just like the car hes not worth it.
Very fun to drive
I love this car. It is incredibly fun to drive, and has a lot of power to it. So far it has also been very reliable. It is fun and sporty looking, and really hugs corners. I would reccommend this car.
Best of Mercury
The Cougar was the first car Ive ever bought. It has overall been a good investment. It has good pick up speed, and in my opinion is a comfortable car. Other people have said this car has given them all sorts of problems but mine have been minor, typical car repairs. If your looking for a sports car at a low price, the Cougar is it. Too bad they quit making them. My problems were my driver side window, it will roll down, not up. My check engine light is always on, and ofcourse the infamous cup holder rarely works. It is wise to purchase a warranty, as with any car. I have and that window was a little expensive.
