I have had my Cougar for 3 yrs and have never had a problem. My gas mileage is usually 32-33 mpg. The trunk is big enough to put almost anything in it. It lacks power, you will not win any race, but you will be the best looking slow car on the line!

I should of known the first day it was a lemon, when speedometer broke and my tire blew out. For the past year I have been in and out of the service shop because my car stops while I'm driving, with no warning at all. I can be on the highway or on streets, and it will just turn off. I regret ever buying this car, I wish I would read these other reviews before I purchased it.
Don't buy this car!

I'd driven this car before so when it came time to buy I didn't waste any time comparing or looking on Edmunds.com I found the hard way that you should always research what you buy, even if you (think you) know what you are getting. Here's what I found: 1) the I4 engine is not powerful enough to run the airconditioning while driving up hill 2) You get no acceleration with this engine. Maybe I have high expectations since I am in Germany and I'm rolling down the Autobahn next to BMWs and Audis but when you get the Autobahn you have to keep up!
Don't go to Village Lincoln Mercury

Worst experiences with a new car purchase. Dealership very unprofessional. New car leaked when it rained,sprinkle,or a car wash.Service told me to expect water leakage, they werent able to fix it or come up with a solution.It was fixed when I had to take one of them with me through a car wash. Amazing that trained technicians cant fix a leakage problem after the 4th try. Leakage since day one, air conditioner problem, and after driving past 2,000, you can really tell a difference in the performance. I couldnt imagine that car lasting more than a year without any more major problems, if I would have kept it.

hello. i owned a 99 i4 5 speed. on a whim, i test drove the car. i was very pleasantly surprised! i never would have given a ford or any other american make a look. i prefer hondas/acuras. nonetheless i bought the cougar. i love(d) the styling, the handling, the braking power. i found the driver's seat extremely comfortable and the mpg was acceptable. i fretted over the reliabilty of the vehicle as i began to have some problems with my own and i noticed that the resale value has plummetted. that is why buyers out there are getting great deals on buying their new cougars. expect poor resale values. i unloaded my car.
