GREAT BODY BUT....
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW W/ 7 MILES ON IT. IMMEDIATELY I RAN INTO BRAKE PROBLEMS CONSTANT GRINDING. BRAKE DISC WERE SHAVED DOWN THEN COMPLETELY REPLACED. NEXT PROBLEM ELECTRICAL. CAR ELECTRICAL SYETM THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT COMPLETELY. TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY!! ON-GOING BATTLES BETWEEN DEALERSHIP NOT WANTING TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE B/C THEY DIDN'T DO THE INITIAL REPAIR WORK. LOVE THE BODY LOVE DRIVING CURVES AND WINDY ROADS. AS A YOUNG PERSON BUYING THIS VEHICLE STYLE OVER RIDES OTHER OPTIONS. I'M NOT COMPLETELY UPSET OVER PURCHASE, BUT NEVER AGAIN BY A 1ST YEAR VEHICLE. LET THEM WORK OUT THE KINKS FIRST AND THEN BUY ONE....

You guys are scaring me...
Overall, my Cougar has been great. I bought it new in '99 and have experienced some of the problems others report, but I think these minor problems are to be expected of first- model-year cars. Otherwise, performance has been excellent and mechanical reliability outstanding. It looks great and is fun to drive. Since mine now has 38K miles, what's concerning me are the significant number of reviews concerning major problems (transmission, starter, etc.) beginning around 40k to 60k miles. I'm taking a hard look at the new Mazda RX-8...now may be the time to trade in.
'99 Mercury Cougar
A great car for those who like the "New Edge" style of automobiles. A coupe with a hatch back that allows cargo as large as a Queen size bed.. It gets a lot of attention at the traffic light.
A So-So
When I got this car for my 16th birthday I was so excited, but only 3 days later I was taking it to get the belt fixed and the engine light never went off. After fixing all the problems though it's pretty reliable. I can also say it drives great and has great gas mileage for a on-the-go-teen.
