I purchased my '99 Cougar in '00 and have driven 60k without any major problems others speak of. (without proper maintenance!) The car handles beautifully. The quality put into designing the vehicle was a bit overlooked. I have had problems with the paint chipping and rust underneath the windshield wiper fluid dispensers. When I first purchased the car it was new. The interior liner and speaker cover had to be repaired twice because they "fell off" Unfortunalty the trade in value is next to zilch. The car is very nice to look at and fun to drive.

Cougar Far From Purrfect

This car is just one problem after the other. If you purchase this car it will spend most of it's time in the shop. I have 44K on mine and the problems have been: defect in brake calippers not retracting which constantly wear out the rotars, sensors continually go out, alternator failed, leaving me stranded on the freeway, transmission greatly hesitates when you really need it the most, radio continually shorts out, cup holder is worthless, front defrost vents pop up. These problems are not one time occurences, they happen over and over again, compounding frustration. Please save yourself the frustration I have experienced and buy a more reliable car.
Fun Car

I have had not problems with my Cougar. I love the styling and enjoy driving it. Great gas mileage for a V6 and I costantly get admiring glances. Very fast and good sound system too. I know many people report problems, but I have yet to see them. I purchased a 99 with 27,000 miles cheap and I LOVE IT!

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.
