I drove my car off the show room floor in 2000 and I'm just now having problems with 90,000 miles and thats with very little to know rust, so I believe I've gotten my monies worth.

I had this for 2 years and it had 83k miles on it when I first had it... But boy oh boy, can the murderous ones look enticing. Pros- It had alright front seats The CD player was great. The sound system was awesome It's really sporty. Cons- It rusts easily (Muffler fell off after a month of heavy rain after I hit a pothole) There were many electronic issues. (3 batteries, 1 alternator, 4 tune ups within 2 years) Sensor failures almost killed me twice. After 6 months, the boot arms started wearing out. Overall: It's a sporty death trap. Don't buy it.

I got it as a present from my father before i even had my licence. Mind you he didn't let me pick out the car i wanted or even asked me what I liked in a car. I hate two door cars but i was happy because it was a car.. As soon as I got the car I had to replace the alternator. Then after 2 months of driving it the car starts to jerk every time I drive it so I replace the fuel pump. That does not fix it so it must be the transmission that i have to fix. For all of that i can just buy a new car. There is a lot of recalls on this car

Borrowed his Cougar a few times. It was swell. Updated: I was too harsh with the ratings. It deserves 5 stars!

I've had my Cougar about 4 years now and it's only just over 89,000 miles. I've had to have 3 fuel flushes ..the gas was filthy and very dark brown and causing the engine to miss. I've had to put 2 new batteries in it along with an altenator. I had plugged ECG valves. Last week I spent $700. on a new fuel pump along with a fuel/oil pressure censor. I've replaced all 4 tires. The dash lights and headlights are always flickering. It won't start if it's cold out. My sunroof won't open. It's starting to rust. The battery light is always flickering on and off (even with a new battery and altenator). When it's cold out my trunk won't stay open I have to hold it up (hatchback)..do not recommend!!!
