I liked my Cougar V6, when I first bought it. My Cougar now however, is developing rattles, has had pieces of weather-proofing trim come off, the rear brakes are groaning, 3 transmission bolts came loose, & the CD player starts skipping after ~3 hours of continuous play. I do drive my Cougar with verve, but I don't abuse my car. I maintain it properly, the way a pre-midlife crisis car should be. It's my impression however, that my car was not built as well as I thought and that it's starting to fall apart. After reading Consumer Report's review of the Cougar this year where Cougar owners rated is as much worse than average for reliability, I am dreading the worst.

I love the outer appearance however it is lacking in other areas. I have the "leather" interior. this car is 5 year old and already the seats are shot. I have rips/holes just from every day use. I have only had this car a few months and have had to replace the brakes and recut rotors. The transmission seems to be slipping at times too. It's fun to drive but the repairs will cost you. I have a Chevy before and I think I just might go back to buying them next time around.

I have not had my Cougar very long only about a year and I love it, despite the moon roof and the 6 disc cd player dont work, but minor things can be fixed! Otherwise this is a great car! I have a 5 speed and its super fun to drive. They are hot sleek cars that people look at when you drive by! Having the V6 really helps with the outter look! Very sporty reliable car!

Even with my Cougar being a salvage, it's awesome. I fixed/replaced some things, all parts were cheap, except getting the reverse fixed. Now my car is all good! And yes, the heater/air is excellent - it's real powerful! My Cougar has dual overheads too and they say its rare and that it's fast! Also my Cougar is beautiful! Plus, it looks small but it's roomy with a big trunk for my system.
Beautiful Car
