Used 1999 Mercury Cougar Hatchback Consumer Reviews
What a lemon
Bought this car my freshman year of college after my brother totaled my beloved 1991 Lexus ES250. Needed a car to go to and from work and make the 400 mile trek home once a month. This car has great looks, and a banging stereo. The problem is, I have put almost the $6500 I paid for it in repairs to this car. Beware the sunroof, parts alone to fix are $1600 :-0 Also performance wise, there seems to be a gap in the middle gears, it's great off the line but struggles to get up to freeway speeds on an onramp. The A/C unit doesn't cool very well, and seriously hampers the engines power at freeway speeds. Beware repair costs for this unreliable vehicle.
This car is awsome
I have had this car for about 6 months now and it just keeps on getting better and better. I love this car. Its fast, turns on a dime, brakes on it are great. This car is just awsome. I cant get enough of this car. Ive already put a new esgost, cold air intake, racing chip, and anything else you can think of and now im putting Z28 camaros in my dust. If you want to have a really good car and have lots of fun you have to get this car

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!
My 2nd Baby
I just got the car and so far have only two complaints about it. 1... The sagging doors. Pins cannot be replaced I have to actually buy complete hinges for it. 2... The sun/moonroof clips broke and it's impossible to find parts for this car. My Cougar currently has 200,650 miles on it with a five-speed V6 and runs strong. The computer claims 27.3mpg so I'm going to actually perform my own calculations to see if its correct or not. Car is a good car and I intend on putting many many more miles on it. Maybe I'll make 300k who knows!!
What a disappointment
I have had to had to put so much money into this car and it only has 45k miles on it. At 40k my transmission had to get replaced. at 43k I needed a new alternator. And now at 45k the brakes will hopefully be the last repair I put to this money pit. I am on edmunds to read up on reviews and see if it is possible to trade the kitty in. I've had it.
