Used 2000 Mercury Cougar Consumer Reviews
I love it!
I wanted a cougar for years before I actually bought one. I'm not at all disappointed. She could handle a bit better in the snow, but overall, I love her!
ok.......
i really liked this car when i saw it on the lot, but now i hate it. Its got a lot of problems and i would not recommend it to anyone else. It shakes in between 60-70 mph The check engine light turns on and off. Its horrible on gas i get maybe 18 mpg The windshield wipers are horrible I hate this car I'm gonna buy a jetta!

costs too much
I will have to spend $600 every year after my warranty runs out to replace the feul pump. The mechanics that have already replaced two have told me no matter what I do it will still go out. My CD player already doesn't work and my car is almost 3 years old. I have bought 8 new tires and prices just went up in my area to $140 a tire. I would never buy a cougar again myself, and I would not reccomend buying one to anyone else.
Just bought it
I just got this vehicle yesterday. I bought a 1999 honda passport 2 months ago and hated it. So far I really like the cougar. The acceleration is great, better then my 2000 VW GLX with the VR6. The VW has a hesitation when you give it gas before the power kicks in. The cougar responds quicker. I was supprised to see all the poor reviews,as I really like this car, so far. The only problem I've noticed so far is when the ac is on the engine cuts out on power when driving at a constant speed. Like a power surge, but in reverse. This is a little annoying. I only wish it had a moon roof like the passport and jetta.
unreliable
Although this car looks good and has some of the best features for the price, it is unreliable. I've had the cougar for almost 2 years now, and I have put over a 1000 miles on it just from taking it to the shop to get repaired. It has had problems since day one. Ford customer service is a joke. They won't do anything to help me get out of this vehicle, they do fix the problems that occur, but when all you have is problems something else needs to be done. Sure the repairs are warranted, but, its not worth having a new vehicle if you can't count on it.
