I really was'nt thinking to buy a new a car, but I have to admit that when i test drove the Cougar v6 with the c2 package I fell in love with it!! With the help of the Salesman Mr. Carlo everything went smoothly, needless to say that Mr. Alvarez the finance Mgr. put every effort on it, I got a good interest rate & a cash rebate, the car handles like a European car, the performance only compared with a good Sport Car it has plenty of power, I when I knew about a tune-up's every 100,000 miles I said the American Automotive Industry finally got it.! It's very confortable for two people (in the front) forget 4 on a trip.

I have had my 02 Cougar for a little over a year, I haven't had any engine trouble no big problems. few problems with the rear visibility and huge blind spot also the arm rest isn't there and no mirror on the passenger Visor... other than that good mpg. all in all good Car

"The only car I want to drive"

I previously owned a 1999 cougar which was my first car when I was a junior in high school, but I was foolish and traded that car in when it had 46000 miles on it. Now, I am a sophmore in college and I recently purchased a 2002 cougar. This one is the Ultimate version. Both of my cougars have been excellent cars. The minute I get into them I get a feeling like the car was made specifically for me. That is probably the best thing about the car. What else can I say? I haven't had any problems with either of the cougars I've owned.

I own a 2002 cougar XR with 34,000 miles on it. Let me say i had a 1999 cougar and i thought it was sweet, this car by far beats it. The nicer interior and sweet headlights make me want to drive it constantly!
