Used 1999 Mercury Cougar Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Wonderful Car!!!
I bought this car two years ago and I couldn't be happier. It has been regularly maintained, had some minor service and hasn't ever let me down. The power is great. The sound system is great. Traction is wonderful. Low body roll. Very responsive ride. It has 67000 miles on it so far and has been an all around great car!
Great car!
I got this car as a first time car, no major issues. Fixed neutral safety switch ($100), getting new motor mounts ($450) New cold air intake, getting cat back exhaust, new tires, car runs great, tight steering, great grip. I have 167,000 miles on it. Runs great still!

Reliable
The 4 cyl. is very reliable. But the same engine is reliable in its other platforms as well. I've beaten the heck out of this car and it is still ticking away. Could use a tune up at this point in its life, but I've had it since mile 4 and it's been a great car.
Nice ride
Fun car. I'm 16 and I love this car. It handles like a race car around tight corners, and excellerates smoothly. The ride is rough but thats what you get with a sports car. Fuel eco. isn't too great in the summer because of use of the A/C. Overall its a great car!!
Fun to Drive
I've had my Cougar for 3 years now and I have had only one problem. In its 3rd year, the cables on the sunroof snapped during normal operation. The dealer says "We have to replace the whole sunroof so it'll cost ya $$$." A private mechanic says "I'll get some new cables and we'll have it repaired for about $$." Maybe I have more of a gripe with Ford? Other than the sunroof, I have not had one single second worth of problem out of the car. It drives great, it's as comfortable as a sports coupe gets, and it's a fun car. My only other gripe is that since it looks fast, all kinds of other cars want to race it... maybe their jealous of it's tight appearance?
